I found editing my final film in 'Theory' easy however, when getting round to actually doing so, it was time consuming and I had to make a few exceptions, with what I had to hand although it was not ideal.
For example; I could not find an ideal song for background music at first then, I found an 'all right' peice that when I experimented with the volume and turned it down, it sounded quite good.
I edited my piece in Three steps.
The first was putting all the videos and animations in sequence so that there was a rough order of how they would go. Here is a screen shot of the sequence.
I also colour corrected some of the shots I had using colour grading in Premiere.
From this: To this:
Then, the second step was to add text over the top of the videos and animations that said what the moves were in English and Korean, which you can see in the image above at the start of the sequence. It took me a little while to get the text right and the transition of the words, as when I moved computers (as I had to move classes) I noticed that the same text font to not transfer over to the other so, the text I wanted was substituted so, when I went back on to the original computer all I had to do was change the font back to what I wanted originally.
Here is a screen shot of the sequence with text.
The third step was to add in audio. I first put the dialogue in the sequence and adjusted the videos and animations to fit which then made the whole video a couple of minuets longer than one which I first proposed consequently, I do feel that there is nothing I can take out unless I remove one of the moves from each category. Secondly, I added in the music, I didn't have a set song , but I did have a few that I thought could work and be appropriate for this film, so I imported them all into 'Premiere' . I took one at a time and put them in the piece to see which one fitted best, in the end I picked one for the main part of the film and used a more upbeat song for the credits at the end. The last piece of the puzzle was the sound effects, I decided not to use any sound effects in the main section of the film apart from when I had the freeze frames to signify the change of move type, I used a kind of slow motion swoosh that had a climax which is when the freeze happens. Here is the sound.

This is what the sequence looked like.
The very final step is to export out the finished video, I didn't render the video before exporting as I knew it would do so on exporting. I knew that it would take a while to export however, I was not expecting the estimated time to come up with 1 hour and 22 minutes at first ,it managed to export and render in around 20-25 minuets which is not so bad despite it saying over an hour.
