WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.380 --> 00:00:02.291 In this lesson we're gonna learn how to make 2 00:00:02.291 --> 00:00:06.832 our footage look more cinematic with overlays. 3 00:00:06.832 --> 00:00:08.735 So we saw this clip right here, 4 00:00:08.735 --> 00:00:10.908 I added a couple different overlays 5 00:00:10.908 --> 00:00:14.262 to create this cool film burn transition, 6 00:00:14.262 --> 00:00:16.407 and also making it look a little bit more cinematic 7 00:00:16.407 --> 00:00:19.553 with this wider aspect ratio. 8 00:00:19.553 --> 00:00:21.758 So let's recreate this from the beginning 9 00:00:21.758 --> 00:00:24.429 and learn how to use different overlays. 10 00:00:24.429 --> 00:00:27.331 So I'm just gonna move this footage over to the side, 11 00:00:27.331 --> 00:00:30.432 I'm just gonna take my Beach 2 clip, 12 00:00:30.432 --> 00:00:34.295 bring it down on my timeline, going to cut edit it 13 00:00:34.295 --> 00:00:37.827 right after a couple seconds, and then we're going to 14 00:00:37.827 --> 00:00:41.994 cut it to the beach shot, them on the lifeguard tower. 15 00:00:45.392 --> 00:00:48.059 See that bird flying by like so. 16 00:00:48.943 --> 00:00:50.087 The first thing we're gonna do 17 00:00:50.087 --> 00:00:52.754 is add the aspect ratio overlay, 18 00:00:53.780 --> 00:00:57.450 so you'll find in the resources for this course 19 00:00:57.450 --> 00:00:59.323 that there's this Overlays folder, 20 00:00:59.323 --> 00:01:02.052 in it are these aspect ratio overlays, 21 00:01:02.052 --> 00:01:04.319 and these are basically just black bars 22 00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:07.183 that are gonna go at the top and bottom of the screen 23 00:01:07.183 --> 00:01:09.016 to change this footage to look 24 00:01:09.016 --> 00:01:11.831 like it's a different aspect ratio. 25 00:01:11.831 --> 00:01:15.640 Cinema or CinemaScope, these are wide aspect ratios 26 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:20.108 so if I put this onto track two it's automatically set up 27 00:01:20.108 --> 00:01:23.358 so that the video shows through it. 28 00:01:23.358 --> 00:01:25.541 It's just black bars on the top and bottom, 29 00:01:25.541 --> 00:01:29.124 so you can see it with it on, off, on, off. 30 00:01:31.588 --> 00:01:34.455 And automatically this makes it a little bit more cinematic. 31 00:01:34.455 --> 00:01:39.398 Now the actual video itself is still gonna be 16x9 32 00:01:39.398 --> 00:01:41.293 and for the full reslution videos 33 00:01:41.293 --> 00:01:44.239 this is shot at 1920x1080, 34 00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:46.441 so it's still gonna be that resolution, 35 00:01:46.441 --> 00:01:49.399 which is actually good for playing online, 36 00:01:49.399 --> 00:01:51.271 for putting on YouTube. 37 00:01:51.271 --> 00:01:53.645 You could actually go into the sequence, 38 00:01:53.645 --> 00:01:56.802 Sequence Settings, and change the frame size 39 00:01:56.802 --> 00:02:00.969 to the actual different aspect ratio that you want, 40 00:02:01.829 --> 00:02:03.926 but this is just a quick and easy way to do it. 41 00:02:03.926 --> 00:02:06.948 And actually, like I said, better for uploading online, 42 00:02:06.948 --> 00:02:10.115 because YouTube likes the 16x9 format, 43 00:02:11.040 --> 00:02:14.563 and playing it on your phone and everything else like that. 44 00:02:14.563 --> 00:02:15.758 So this is pretty cool, 45 00:02:15.758 --> 00:02:18.461 I'm gonna move this up to track three. 46 00:02:18.461 --> 00:02:20.050 The only thing I don't like about it now 47 00:02:20.050 --> 00:02:21.828 is that when their walking up, 48 00:02:21.828 --> 00:02:23.425 his head starts to get cut off 49 00:02:23.425 --> 00:02:26.205 a little bit too much than I would want. 50 00:02:26.205 --> 00:02:29.975 So I'm gonna select this clip, go to Effects Controls, 51 00:02:29.975 --> 00:02:34.016 go to Motion, and just drag down just a little bit, 52 00:02:34.016 --> 00:02:35.577 I don't wanna cut off her too much 53 00:02:35.577 --> 00:02:37.652 and I actually like seeing her flowers 54 00:02:37.652 --> 00:02:41.735 just a little bit in there, so just a little bit. 55 00:02:45.704 --> 00:02:47.786 Just a little bit. 56 00:02:47.786 --> 00:02:50.194 And then with this shot they're at the bottom of the frame 57 00:02:50.194 --> 00:02:52.287 which I like, but I'm gonna move them up 58 00:02:52.287 --> 00:02:55.870 just a little bit too, somethin' like that. 59 00:02:57.712 --> 00:02:59.257 That looks a lot better. 60 00:02:59.257 --> 00:03:02.074 Now we want a nice transition between the two, 61 00:03:02.074 --> 00:03:04.036 Adobe Premiere Pro has lots of transitions 62 00:03:04.036 --> 00:03:07.407 so we could just add a cross disssolve with Command + D 63 00:03:07.407 --> 00:03:09.418 to dissolve between these two, 64 00:03:09.418 --> 00:03:12.731 but we're gonna add a film burn, 65 00:03:12.731 --> 00:03:16.049 this film burn came from a free website online 66 00:03:16.049 --> 00:03:20.316 but you can find all sorts of film burns and bokeh clips 67 00:03:20.316 --> 00:03:22.652 that are great overlays online, just by searching 68 00:03:22.652 --> 00:03:26.105 free film burns or free bokeh overlay. 69 00:03:26.105 --> 00:03:29.182 Now if I take this film burn, open it up here, 70 00:03:29.182 --> 00:03:31.381 I can watch it and I can see what's happening, 71 00:03:31.381 --> 00:03:34.213 it's got this nice film burn look. 72 00:03:34.213 --> 00:03:38.216 If I take this and I put it in between on track two, 73 00:03:38.216 --> 00:03:39.440 what happens is it's just 74 00:03:39.440 --> 00:03:41.666 the black video with the film burn. 75 00:03:41.666 --> 00:03:44.813 We have to change the blend mode of this clip 76 00:03:44.813 --> 00:03:47.886 so that the black is invisible. 77 00:03:47.886 --> 00:03:51.634 So go up to effects controls, with this film burn selected, 78 00:03:51.634 --> 00:03:55.801 go to Opacity, and change Blend Mode from Normal to Screen. 79 00:03:57.494 --> 00:04:00.649 The Screen effect will make the entire film burn, 80 00:04:00.649 --> 00:04:02.091 all the black disappear, 81 00:04:02.091 --> 00:04:05.701 and only the highlights show through. 82 00:04:05.701 --> 00:04:07.831 Then we wanna move this to a good position 83 00:04:07.831 --> 00:04:09.389 so it looks like it's transitioning 84 00:04:09.389 --> 00:04:12.139 from one shot to the next in the burn. 85 00:04:12.139 --> 00:04:16.493 So I'm just gonna go right here in the middle 86 00:04:16.493 --> 00:04:19.930 of these two clips, then I'm going to adjust the film burn 87 00:04:19.930 --> 00:04:21.778 so that there's a spot in the film burn 88 00:04:21.778 --> 00:04:26.419 where the entire frame is covered up with the burn. 89 00:04:26.419 --> 00:04:28.514 So I'm gonna select the film burn, 90 00:04:28.514 --> 00:04:32.500 pressing Command on my computer or on my keyboard, 91 00:04:32.500 --> 00:04:36.052 and the right arrow keys, or the left arrow keys, 92 00:04:36.052 --> 00:04:37.875 and I'm trying to get to a place, 93 00:04:37.875 --> 00:04:39.722 I'm just nudging it one frame at a time 94 00:04:39.722 --> 00:04:44.722 until this entire frame is covered with the film burn. 95 00:04:44.722 --> 00:04:47.509 And this is gonna look better than before 96 00:04:47.509 --> 00:04:52.423 because it completely transitions to this next scene. 97 00:04:52.423 --> 00:04:54.191 It goes on a little bit too long though 98 00:04:54.191 --> 00:04:57.045 so I'm gonna fade out of it, just select the clip 99 00:04:57.045 --> 00:05:00.121 and press Command + D, that adds a cross disssolve. 100 00:05:00.121 --> 00:05:01.492 I'm just going to make the cross dissolve 101 00:05:01.492 --> 00:05:03.500 a little bit shorter. 102 00:05:03.500 --> 00:05:07.667 So now, you have them walking up, film burn, looks amazing. 103 00:05:09.722 --> 00:05:12.114 We also have this bokeh if you want, 104 00:05:12.114 --> 00:05:13.654 you can try the same thing, 105 00:05:13.654 --> 00:05:15.716 so I'm just gonna put this on top of it, 106 00:05:15.716 --> 00:05:17.666 just put a little bit of it on top 107 00:05:17.666 --> 00:05:19.505 just to see what it looks like, 108 00:05:19.505 --> 00:05:22.672 then change the Blend Mode in Opacity. 109 00:05:23.976 --> 00:05:26.267 Now this one, you might not like the screen 110 00:05:26.267 --> 00:05:29.876 because it's too bright, we're only getting rid 111 00:05:29.876 --> 00:05:32.277 of the dark parts of the bokeh, 112 00:05:32.277 --> 00:05:33.870 we wanna get rid of some of the light, 113 00:05:33.870 --> 00:05:36.120 so change this to Multiply. 114 00:05:36.978 --> 00:05:40.471 Multiply is a good one, Darken is a good one, 115 00:05:40.471 --> 00:05:44.430 Lighten and Screen, even Overlay can be good too. 116 00:05:44.430 --> 00:05:46.904 Those are the main ones that I would look at, 117 00:05:46.904 --> 00:05:49.198 Darken, Multiply, Lighten, Screen, 118 00:05:49.198 --> 00:05:52.259 Overlay, and even Soft Light. 119 00:05:52.259 --> 00:05:54.880 And here Soft Light's very subtle, 120 00:05:54.880 --> 00:05:56.711 Multiply might be a little bit better, 121 00:05:56.711 --> 00:05:58.391 gives kind of a cool effect. 122 00:05:58.391 --> 00:06:00.207 And if I want to double these effects, 123 00:06:00.207 --> 00:06:04.855 I can move my cinema top and bottom bars up to track four 124 00:06:04.855 --> 00:06:09.622 and then put the bokeh on top of everything, like so. 125 00:06:09.622 --> 00:06:11.962 You know that's maybe a little bit too dramatic, 126 00:06:11.962 --> 00:06:13.734 a little bit too much, and maybe I would 127 00:06:13.734 --> 00:06:16.567 actually put this below film burn, 128 00:06:17.636 --> 00:06:19.206 so that the film burn goes on top 129 00:06:19.206 --> 00:06:22.338 of the bokeh as well, but if you're looking 130 00:06:22.338 --> 00:06:26.100 to get really stylistic, it is a cool effect. 131 00:06:26.100 --> 00:06:28.885 So that's how you can play with overlays 132 00:06:28.885 --> 00:06:32.275 to make your film more cinematic, 133 00:06:32.275 --> 00:06:35.106 combining them, changing the different blend modes, 134 00:06:35.106 --> 00:06:37.846 those are the keys to using overlay. 135 00:06:37.846 --> 00:06:39.532 If you have any questions please let me know, 136 00:06:39.532 --> 00:06:41.963 otherwise have fun playing around with these 137 00:06:41.963 --> 00:06:43.907 and we'll see you in another lesson.
