Creating DOF

Since my interview footage does not have DOF ( Depth Of Field) this due to the reason of being in door and with low lightening on the subject and background. and I want to have DOF on my footage because it create more professionalism and the users and concentrate better on the subject.

Creating the DOD in premier isn’t as hard as I though it would be. First I need to create and draw line around the subject and fill it in with colour.

After that I brought the image into the timeline on a new layer so that it may stay on top.

After that I duplicate the current footage with a duplication and apply the effect(Track matte key)

Then I assign the matte to video 3 (layer 3 which is the layer I create for white image)this let me to track the image I create earlier and keep it from being blur.

after that I assigned a blur effect onto the footage on Video 1 (Layer 1) this let me blur the whole background out. and it’s not effecting the subject because of the matte.

I also apply the blur effect onto the white image so that the outline of the blur to be more smooth and realistic.

Editing Video

At first I didn’t know which way to edit this video as there are so many audio files. its over 30+ audio files. And didn’t know which way to sync up the audio with the video because there are over 60 footages of video. It was confusing and hard to start with.

Then I found out a way to make my life easier by using reaper. I added all of the 30+ audio into reaper and connect them all up into one long line of audio.

After exporting the audio I then brought it into Premier CC along with the 60 footages to sync them up and it work nicely.

After that I can just record the interview using the multiple screen on the composition.
