intro to editing

Horror movie

• What is editing?

Is a different selection of shots and modifying putting them together and telling a story.

• What is Elliptical editing?

It allows us to fill in the gaps and it gives you more screen time going from one place to another

• Why are long shots used?

To show where the character is and where their surroundings are in the film.

• What is ‘non-diagetic sound’?

This is music that the character cant hear in the film, only the viewer can hear the music this creates the scene of what is going on it can be jolly or dramatic.

• How do we know she is bending down to pick up the ring? (what shots are used and why?)

We know this because the director zooms in into the ring showing us that she was looking at the ring, this could have been shown by showing the girl picking up the ring but it was shown differently by showing her hand.

Hustle

• Overhead establishing shot – what does this achieve?

This shows that the man is talking to everyone on the table and it sets out the place where the clips taking place and shows the status of the people around.

• What is Shot-Reverse-Shot?

Going back and forth with both characters showing that they are having convocation even though you do not seen them in the same shot

• What is Eye-line matching?

Is zooming on the shot to make the convocation look more convincing to make it look like the charters having a eye-to-eye conversation.

• Why do we cut to the other members of the group?

To show that he is not talking to just one person and to show that he is talking to everyone of the group. to see the others reactions to the plan

• What is a wipe?

Is a video transition from one location to another.

• What is the effect of using quick cuts?

This keeps the audience interested and keeps the story moving through

"This was an outstanding video, i personally think that if the quality of the footage was at a better standard; for example- his face wasn't as clear as it viewed on the camera itself. Maybe a change of software? The video would be on point no doubt about it. To further add the music slightly over-powered the audio itself at times, so sometimes it was had to hear at times. so maybe a slight change in the music sound level? But other than the video was BANGING!!"

"I found the video to be brilliant, the camera was clear and they're use of angle was effective because it suited his purpose. However they could of been an improved on the quality of the footage because in some of the scenes the image was not clear enough, but i was still able to see alex faces. they were a few things you can improved on sound, because in one of the scenes the police sirens had passed through so i was unable to hear what he had been trying say, i was trying to understand what he was saying through the background. Overal, the video was brilliant. :)

"Great effects and great clips, liked how it was just casual and it represented your style. Maybe some info on your other hobbies and interests :)"

"good location, and good transitions, i like that you add many screen, the only thing i think you should have to improve the the sound by using a microphone you you record".

"the music in the background suits your personality, I like how you walked around town with the camera: good locations but you weren't loud enough for the audience to hear."

My summary of the video

Overall I feel my video was very good I feel that I had worked it to the best of my ability.

I also feel that the special effects were good and that i made sure that the subtitles were clear; I made sure that i made the video long enough to understand me and where i am from and did different camera shots for people to feel more involved in my video and show different angles of where i am speaking from.

I maybe should have put a better lighting on the camera so you can see what is going on more. Also the audio maybe needs to be turned up more so you can hear more of what I was saying in the video, I also thought i should have chose a quieter place to shoot my scenes.

But overall i feel like i have done a good job editing and planning my video diary about myself and felt that i have explained most of the things in my script to the fullest. 

My video profile

Audio

The music in the backround of my video will be somthing bubbly as it discribes me as a person ,my picture could be a medium close up and the music may stop and then get a full body shot.
Now for the next scene in my house,it will be the same music in the backround with me explaining my life and what i do and the camera shot will be just on my body,the third camera shot and scene will take place outside my area in a little play ground and i will be walking with the camera.

Pictures

I will have pictures of what i like and it could be a collarge and i may fade it in the backround.i would like a medium body shot when i am explaining my self to the audience.i will also have a full body shot where it will show my whole body and when i finished explaining i want it to fade.The music in the backround of my video will be somthing bubbly as it discribes me as a person ,my picture could be a medium close up and the music may stop and then get a full body shot.

Main Script

Hey everyone my name is Alex my full name is Alex Denzil Johnson Cole ,but most times my friends and family call me Lexi or Lex because they are to lazy to say my real name but still love them all. Lexi is a baby name my mum gave me when i was young and it is still used up today even though i've grown up and maybe out grown the name.I'am studying in City of westminister College.
I have only one brother he's 21 years old and we lots of fights even though he's older than me he should know better ,but he's family so he's going to be around for a while so i have to deal with it*sighs*

I love to listen to music mostly grime music and i hope to one day get on a big platform and perform to people as i really like to show my talent. My MC name is PK and i hope to one day get my name known around the place. i have a few videos on youtube and i also work with my partner Saint P we go studio a lot and make a lot of songs together. When i am older i would like to work more on music and videos and work on a big platform with other musicians.and maybe get signed or be signed to my own record lable

Review Reprt

On week one i made myself set up a blogging network for myself so later on i could then introduce my video profile. then i did my introduction to my video and started planing out my script and story boards.

 i have completed this and met my target for my work to be fully completed, i made sure when i got home i did all the work in class saving it and taking it on my USB.

i have learnt that if i put more effort into my work then i can get a good grade i also learned that i can indeed edit videos and create them and they will get better as i keep doing them, my methods of this was asking for help then doing it my self and i enjoyed learning how to make the video its self.

in future i will try to take more things in rather than taking things in one by one so the whole process is much easier to tackle with.

on week two my target was too learn how to use the equipment camera and also disguising existing video profiles and adding more to my script and planning made sure i succeeded  in that and completed that and met that target have learnt that i am good with the camera and i know how to opp-orate the camera with the learning activity's we had done with the camera have found out that i am more motivated by actually competing against my class mates in my learning because it makes everything more  exciting in the work because you want to see how other videos will turn out.in the future i will again put my had up more if i don't understand things about the camera rather than just pressing the buttons on the camera.

on week three my target was to start filming properly and review my footage that i had shot,i felt like i had done that with every camera shot of my video and analysed what had needed to be changed and what i wanted to add so i re did some of my scenes to help my video be a success,i have learnt that in this type of task that my learning was good and that i can have a more of an understanding in what i am doing in my video analyzing have learnt that i am motivated by sitting down with my teacher and discussing what part of my film is good and what parts i may have to change, so i enjoyed the good and bad feedback, what frustrates me was sometimes i wasn't quit sure if my ideas would go out to plan and if i could carry them out. in future i will  try to listen to more advice for me to make my video good and  for me to also be an effective learner.

on week four my target was to edit my video more and complete work for my assessment achieved this by using he Mac and finally putting all my shots together also adding music and other special effects to make my video more interesting to my people’s have learnt that i have developed a skill as i went on for editing although i still feel it wasn't as good as others but then i got use to the software i was using. what motivates me as a learner is again competition with other peoples videos in the class and how they are editing there own video and how good mine has to be, this makes it challenging for me and i really enjoy it. what frustrates ne is sometimes when the editing is not going as well as you thought it was when you see other peoples editing. In future i will try to make my editing more cleaner and try and advance my skills in it more.
