PREMIERE PRO Example Timeline By: Me (Zachary Morales)
The creative itch that one gets when they have a desire to create a unique piece of multimedia art is exciting. Another thing that’s so excellent about it is how everyone, amateur or professional, will get that itch and can satisfy it.
My Creative Itch
A creative itch can come in the form of any multimedia. Mine, and maybe others in this specific field, lean more towards video editing and graphic design. It doesn’t have to be a job either. It can be a hobby.
For me personally, a big motivator is music. If I find a good tune that makes my imagination flow, I can immediately get to work on Premiere Pro and apply what my vision was.
Anyone Can Do It
The main point of this beat is to establish how friendly it is to enter the recording, editing, and rendering aspect of digital media. That’s where the creative itch comes from. Ever saw a movie scene and wondered how you could make it better with different music?
If you have a smart phone, you have access to a camera you can record with. From which you can take that file from your phone into any editing software.
Amateur Vs. Professional
An amateur and a professional can be made distinct by a few major factors. For one, professionals will always have access to a wider variety of higher quality gear, microphones, and lights, etc.
The spirit of filmmaking and wanting to make something from your own idea is what drives us all the same. You could say there’s a slight talent pool. People like Sam Raimi who come from little background and create a franchise from the ground up.
The amateur is only lacking experience. This generation has made it very friendly to step into the pool of creation.
