Over many weeks on my own and in my group I helped edit the documentary to get it to the standard we have now. It took a lot of hard work and I learn't many skills doing so as I had never previously used Adobe Premiere Pro.
To import video clips we had to connect the video camera to the computer and press F5 for the screen to come up we then pressed the record button to capture the clip we wanted. It was captured in real time and when we finished we saved the clip under a chosen name.
After importing the clip it appeared on the left hand side of the screen. we then had to drag it to the top left smaller box to choose which part of the clip we wanted to use. To select the section we used the set in and set out point tools and then dragged the selected section onto the workspace.
If any sections of the video needed trimming down to make room for another clip going inbetween or because it had previously been cut wrong we used the razor tool to get the clip to the correct length required.
To move clips around the work area the selection tool was used. We could drag clips onto different levels within the work area which meant the clip on the higher level would be infront of the ones on lower levels. we used this in making the mobile phones cutaways.
To add effects to sections of clips we had to click on the effects tab in the bottom left hand side and from there a range of effects and transitions for both audio and video clips. You then dragged the effect onto the selected clip and could then play with the effect in the top left hand box. Here is a section of the documentary where we used cross zooms and fade for video effects and constant gain for audio effects.
