Adobe Premiere editing course!!!!

I am very excited as I have managed to sign up for an Adobe Premiere editing course! It is being run by a charity called 'Digital Arts Studio' here in Belfast - this is a place I only found out about recently: an artist put an ad on freecycle for old mobile phones so I gave her 2 and she told me. 

I have already done two courses with this organisation - how to make a computer game and a course on adobe after effects. To make a computer game you don't have to code these days - if you download a free piece of software called Unity you can make a game(but you really need to be taught how to use it). I made a 3D game for a mobile phone - you had to use special glasses called 'Google Cardboard'.

I am so happy about the video editing course - about finding one local - I was seriously prepared to travel over to England if I could've found a course near my brothers or sister for a weekend that wasn't too expensive. Previously I've gone over to do an autumn photography course in Constable country and stayed with my brother nearby - it was run by the Field Studies Council - the mill owned by Constable's father (Flatford) now belongs to it. Willie Lott's cottage (the Haywain) is still there too and you can stay there during the course (it belongs to the National Trust).

My first video editing lesson I paid for privately  and I was taught windows movie maker - later on I wanted to learn adobe premiere but they specialize in final cut pro which is an Apple product(I can't afford one). I wasn't charged very much by the company(based in Portadown) as they do a lot of community work. 

I am all ready to go to do video editing - my laptop was picked for me by another one of my brothers especially and he got a good deal secondhand(manufacturer refurbished) - it is a Lenovo Y50 which is mainly intended to be a gaming laptop - the resolution  is HD - 1080p and it has a massive amount of memory. So I can't wait!
