Editing Feedback + LR

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

WWW:
- Excellent script; follows conventions
- Very creative; original narrative
- Shot reverse shot
- Excellent post-production + effects
- Excellent cinematography
- Excellent sound
- Excellent production
- Use of match-on-action

EBI:
- Fix shot list
- More match on action

2) Type up your feedback from fellow students.

WWW:
- Planning
- Editing (SFX, transitions, colour correction, etc.)
- Cinematography
- Comedy
- Costumes
EBI:
- Fixing technical issues
- More match-on-action
- Making things a little more understandable

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

Looking back at my video, I have successfully added all the 3 key editing aspects: I had match-on-action, shot reverse shot and I also didn't break the 180-degree rule. However, I didn't include enough match-on-action. I have learnt how to use these 3 skills effectively in my work.

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 strengths of my film were that I had been quite creative with my editing; I had added effects to certain scenes, such as a scene where I parodied/referenced a video game. I had also tried to use transitions and match-on-action wherever I could. My weaknesses were that I didn't use enough match-on-action and that I could have used the 3 key aspects of editing much more than I did.

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 aspect of editing that I found most challenging was figuring out how to connect scenes and make them flow properly. Granted, it's fairly easy once you start editing, but you also have to take this into account when you're filming - which can make editing challenging, as you have to work out how to link certain clips together so that transitions don't look extremely jarring. I have learnt how to edit an effective video and I will certainly use these key skills and conventions in the future when I start my own coursework.

Mise-en-scene Recreation

PLANNING Costume - I will wear a white and black t-shirt to match Jason's outfit. Lighting - The scene will take place at night in my kitchen, dimly lit. Actors - My character would not move around so much. They would be near the kitchen counter, on a phone call. Their expression would change quickly to concern once they realise that their friend is not on the call. Make-up and hair - I won't need to do much make-up. I don't know if I could exactly fully match my hair to be exactly like Jason's. Props - My phone will be the primary prop my character is holding. He will pick it up when he notices it is ringing. Setting - My scene will take place inside of a kitchen.

Film & TV Language - Film Poster Analysis

Image
  Film Poster 1 - Blade Runner 1) The film seems to be action-oriented. Judging from that, I think the story line may be about some type of dystopia, as the setting  of the poster seems to be quite futuristic yet dark and sinister, due to the dark colours contrasting with the bright white lights. The lighting itself is also quite dark, with most of the buildings in shadow. 2) I think the film may be part of the action genre , due to the actors and their props . The man is in a defensive pose holding a pistol, while the woman looks at the viewers holding a cigarette in her hand. 3) The target audience for this film seems to be for more mature people, if we take everything into account - the weapons, the dark lighting , the dystopian setting , these don't seem like typical conventions for a family oriented movie. Film Poster 2 - Scary Movie 2 1) I believe that the film is about parodying typical horror movie conventions . The name of the film, "Scary Movie", and the exagger...
