FILM INDEX

Editing Practical LR

Edit video

1) Type up your feedback/comments from your teacher.

Perfectly met brief. Although I think you could have played this out a little longer.

Magnificent performances

Continuity editing was very good. Nice pacing (slow opening shot to build tension nicely)

Well framed shots, can't believe the end wasn't an added SFX!

2) Type up your feedback from fellow students.

Good brief met

Continuity error with glasses

Little fade to black midway through the video - videos were not connected on PremPro

3) Now reflect on your video. Did you meet the brief and successfully include the three key editing aspects we have learned?

I think, as Mr Halsey has mentioned , I have met the brief quite well bit I could have done a lot better. The pace should have been a bit slower with the conversation and the continuity error was something that is vital when it comes to filming with props. 

4) What were the strengths and weaknesses of your final film? Write a detailed analysis picking out specific shots, edits and any other aspect of film language you think is relevant.

The establishing shot with the corridor scene was quite well framed and the match on action was well done. I feel like those, along with my pacing, were my real strengths. The continuity error was a very silly and rookie mistake but that has taught me just how one simple mistake can that can ruin a perfectly good bit of film. The choice to have Hannah to throw a ring at men is quite a good CLAMPS idea to signify that we are married and not, the removal of that ring shows that we are ending the relationship. The OTS shots with the conversation were framed sort of well - they could have been a bit more towards the actor to account for any dead space there might have been in the scene. The match on action, one of my strengths, was effective in conveying that Hannah was opening a door in a fluid motion and not a result of stitching two clips together

5) Learner response: what aspect of editing did you find most difficult? What have you learned from this process that will help you when you start the actual coursework later this year?

I have learnt that maybe sometimes, longer videos are better, leaving 2-3 seconds of roll time at the start and end of the clip could transform the pacing and atmosphere of the whole video. I have also learnt that all video NEED to be together to provide a seamless clip rather than a small black blip midway through my clip. I have also learnt that I might need to look at costume aspects such as continuity and CLAMPS as I feel that it could have been executed so much better. It was also a matter of finding the right time to cut videos so that they would play a seamless and fluid video that conveyed the messages that I wanted to be depicted. The process of intricately cutting the videos, right down to the last tenth of a second, could make or break the project so going forward, I will be committed to making sure I will provide a seamless and complex project which will display the correct and intended use of CLAMPS and to shown how my editing skills have developed from last time.
