Learn to Make Short Films with Still Photographs Using Premiere Pro
A great way to show your work and bring new life to a project is to make a short video with your still photographs. In this class, you'll go far beyond making generic slideshows — you'll learn the basics of Adobe Premiere Pro and create meaningful and artistic short cinematic videos using your still images.
In addition to learning video editing essentials, we’ll analyze videos and art pieces for inspiration and discuss editing choices, including story-sequencing, pace, duration of each image, and the basics of how to animate images and add meaningful sounds, voices, and texts. Through weekly tutorials and exercises, students will produce their own 3-minute video. Turn those images sitting on your hard drive into something new and creative!
This is a class for people who are new to Premiere Pro or want a refresher. If you use other Adobe software, it will feel familiar to you. With Premiere Pro, you can get away from the frustrating limitations of slideshow apps — it's the most flexible and professional tool to create videos.
