Constructing my Music Video 2



I used the light leak and film burn effects because it is a convention of the chill genre (or other related genre, e.g ambient) and I thought it worked well with my music video. I wanted to use these effects additionally to hint at the nostalgia of the old 35mm film.

Creating Light Leak Effect - Experimentation

I decided to experiment with overlaying a light leak effect onto some of my footage. Through look at how to create the light leak effects on YouTube I gained inspiration to create my own using the '4 color gradient' effect.
I removed one of the colours from the gradient, made two of the points shades of red and the third point blue. Using key framing I changed the point positions to move around and also changed the opacity throughout the footage to make it look like an active light leak.

Importing After Effects files into Premiere


I wanted to find out how to transfer files which I had created in After Effects into Premiere. I already knew how to export from After Effects which I could just then put into Premiere however this could reduce the quality because the video would over all be exported twice.
The way I found was to go to 'import' in Premiere and select an After Effects file, then select the composition file I wished to use.



I then dragged the file I wanted onto the Premiere timeline, keeping the video at full quality.
