Digital Video Editing with Adobe Premiere Pro: The Real-World Guide to Set Up and Workflow

2020

★★★½

This is quite a slight mini-feature, both because it's only 40 minutes long and because most of the film consists of one static shot of a Premiere Pro desktop (contextually, that is; the footage being edited is obviously not static). But it's not short on fun.

A South Korean film director has had to bring in a hotshot editor to rescue his romance, Love Breeze, because all his preferred takes have been ruined by the presence of a ghost, or some other evidence of it being a cursed production. Her efforts are variously ingenious or ridiculous, but always raise a laugh. This is a comedy that credits its audience with the intelligence to understand how film production and post-production work, and let's face it, it's nice when getting the jokes makes you feel clever!

It might be more of a long-form sketch than a movie, notwithstanding a climactic sequence that recalls Sion Sono's Exte: Hair Extensions, but it's paced very nicely, and it's easy to overlook the fact that director Hong Seong-Yoon made the pretty-looking Love Breeze footage as well as the more functional Premiere Pro stuff that frames it.
