Editing video feedback and learner response

 


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

WWW (= character point)

  • Appropriate non-diegetic soundtrack
  • Good cross-cutting at the start
  • Match-on action – walking through door, shutting door,
  • V good shot/reverse shot
  • Keeping to the 180 degree rule
  • Use of POV shots
  • V. good cinematography
  • Fade out at the end
  • Good planning (= character point)

EBI

  • Missed opportunities to use match-on action – papers on desk
2) Type up your feedback from fellow students.
We didn't look at mine in class.

3) Now reflect on your video. Did you meet the brief and successfully include the three key editing aspects we have learned?
Yes I met the brief by including the three editing aspects but I could have utilised the match-on action more times.

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.
I think a strength is the editing of the match on action of the door because it was well timed and the audio of the door closing matches well. A weakness is some of the dialogue audio because we weren't using mics so it was hard to pic up all the audio correctly. Another strength is the POV shot because I like the use of the camera tilt up in the view of the character. Another weakness is the missed opportunity to have another match on action when she takes out the papers, especially because the shot is a bit too long.

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?
The most difficult part of editing is syncing up the visual and audio between different shots. I learnt that I should try to think of what background audio I am going to use before I film. This would help the video have more synergy in the future.

The costumes are superhero outfits which illustrates that this falls in the action and/or sci-fi genre. The lighting is mostly low-key apart from the main blast of high-key light which is used to portray the strength of both characters. The actors are places mostly central on the screen and each are posed to make the shot look mostly symmetrical and this framing of them to both be equal conveys that they are similar although being on opposing sides of the fight. The setting is a disheveled/ broken down building and it is in the foreground of this long- shot whilst the main action is in the mid-ground of the scene which shows the setting to be almost enclosing and trapping them in whilst they fight possibly suggesting a negative mental state during the fight. Barbarian Clip   (Horror/Thriller) Lord of the Rings Clip   (Fantasy) Each clip had different coloured lighting the horror movie was more washed out and had cooler toned lighting which represents the more bleak and fr...
