This lecture is about creating your own sentences. And what I mean by that is actually chopping up dialogue or vo, that you have, that you've received to form new thoughts or to form better presented thoughts on what the person actually gave you. And I use this so much. It's used across every editing medium. If you even listen closely to commercials, you'll hear the vo being cut. And in that case, it's to save time.

They're squeezing everything together. But also if you hear a customer story like someone giving their account of how a product works for them, you'll hear if you listen carefully, you'll hear cuts to really hone in on the idea that the client wants. So it's not always what the person, the subject says. It's about using those words to get as close to the story that you are trying to tell. It's not deceitful. And it's, well, it can be, but it doesn't have to be.

It can often be used to convey the story better by eliminating arms and F's or joining thoughts that you forgot to capture in order to create a true thought that the person does believe in does thing, but maybe you just asked that question. So that's the reasoning for it. I'm gonna just show you a quick demo of how it could be done just so you can start using that thinking and applying it to your edits. So let's take a look at this clip here. What did I say? Have you ever heard that thing where it's like if you work for 10,000 hours at a specific skill Then you become a master of it.

Wow. I guess I'm a master because those 10,000 hours were hard, but I have no idea why this would be good for a tutorial. Oh right, you just need some fake dialog to sink. Right? Okay, so not a lot of good stuff in there. Barely salvageable, but let's see what we can do by just being really picky about what we select previously selected this that's why you see the duplicate markers here, which, you know, I'll tell you about those right now.

When there's multiple instances of a clip, whether it's audio or video in the timeline. And you have show duplicate frame markers selected. premiere shows you that you're there's another instance It can be useful in a lot of ways. Why don't I start fresh? and see what we can do with this clip? Have you ever heard that thing where it's like, if you work for 10,000 hours at a specific skill, then you become a master of it.

All right, that's kind of interesting. Let's see if we can clean it up a little bit, really form our own sentence. Have you ever heard that thing where it's like, if you work for 10,000. So to when you're working with edits, every second is valuable. So if you can cut out words that don't strengthen your story, or strengthen your story by cutting out words, you should do it in almost every single case. So listen again.

Have you ever heard that thing where it's like, if you work for 10th out that thing where it's like, where it's like, we don't need that. So let's try cutting this out. Have you ever heard that if you work for 10,000 hours at a specific kind of words, maybe too much of a gap there, I'm gonna hit all comma to nudge this to the left. One more time. Have you ever heard that if you work for 10,000 hours at a specific skill, so that's pretty close. You put in a tiny little cross fade, command, shift D and Ctrl, Shift D. And have you ever heard that if you work for 10,000 hours at a specific skill, then you become a master of it.

And let's say we were trying to fix fit. fit this in a certain stanza or measure of music. Let's say we wanted it before this beat drops Well, that's a little close about, see we're editing it. Have you ever heard that if you work for 10,000 hours at a specific skill, then you become a master of it. So here's dead space that's pretty easy for us to cut. We can bring this in right before the beat drops, so it's less of a pause.

Let's do the tiniest fades out so we don't fade out, too. We don't hear any sharp drop off. Have you ever heard that if you work for 10,000 hours at a specific skill, then you become a master of it. Alright, so interesting that that awful little sound bite we spit off is suddenly kind of intriguing. Hook up an intro. So, just to demonstrate how creating your own sentences can be so cool is I don't even remember what I've said at this point.

Let's see if we can find another soundbite that can answer that. The dp will go camera speeds or some variation of all that and then the director knows. Look for the audio guy, make sure he's set and ready and if he's not, you should probably say something. Hello, everybody, my name is Jason Randell. I am here to give you a fake dialog story. Okay, so maybe this can turn into a bio doing a video bio.

So I could take this clip My name is Jason Randell put that after. Now do we have Have you ever heard that if you work for 10,000 hours at a specific skill, then you become a master of it. My name is Jason Randell. I am here to give you a fake dialogue story. And all the sudden, two clips that were spoken at different times, about different topics, and in no way were they meant to go together, suddenly come together to create a new meaning for your edit for your story.
