Cutting to soundtrack

(Task 2/3)

This video demonstrates the technique 'cutting to soundtrack', which is cutting each shot to the beat of the music. This was filmed and edited by me. This video shows that I have an understanding of the technique 'cutting to soundtrack', and that I know how it works.

The Crash

(Task 2/3)

This is a video I made with footage from 'Edit Sense', demonstrating editing techniques in a short video, showing that I know and understand the modern technology used to today, and how and when to use certain techniques and conventions.

In this video I used the techniques:

• Establishing shot
• Continuity of motion
• Matching on action
• Eye line matching
• Cut away

In my opinion this edit went well as I think I clearly told a story which makes sense, and has decent continuity, plus I successfully managed to hide the stunt ramp for the car by cutting between shots (Happy with that!). A criticism would be that maybe the opening shots were a little to long which slowed down the video a little.

The Lift ABS: Commentary

(Task 2/3)

This is a commentary for my previous video 'The Lift ABS'. In this video I explain the editing techniques used for the video and how they helped the video. This shows  that I have an understanding of the techniques used and why I used them.

Editing Conventions

(Task 2/3)

This video demonstrates many of the editing conventions used in modern film making.

Logging Sheet For 'Editing Concepts' Video

(Task 2/3)

This is the logging sheet used to determine which clip to use, the shot number, the type of shot, the type and what techniques it will display. This would help the editor know what clips to use when editing the sequence together.

This shows that I can work at a profesional level and have understand the purpose and importance of a logging sheet.

Editing Conventions Storyboard

(Task 2/3)

This is the storyboard for the 'Editing Conventions' video.
Storyboarding is very important when creating a film, they help you to get all of your shots fast and efficiently, without delay, also if you are paying people by the hour to help you film, you will end up saving money in the long run.

This shows that I understand the importance and need for a storyboard in any production.

The Lift ABS Storyboard

(Task 2/3)

This shows the storyboard I used in order to film 'The Lift ABS' efficiently.
Storyboarding is very important when creating a film, they help you to get all of your shots fast and efficiently, without delay, also if you are paying people by the hour to help you film, you will end up saving money.

This shows that I understand the importance and need for a storyboard in any production.

Editing Concepts

(Task 1)


This slide show demonstrates the concepts of modern editing,
including:

• Shot reverse shot
• Eye line matching
• Matching on action
• Montage
• Cross-cutting / Parallel editing
• 180 Degree Rule
• Cut in / Cut away
• Establishing shot

This shows that I have an understad many of the editing concepts and know why and when to use them

The Lift: 2

(Task 2/3)


This is the original footage edited and rearranged by me to display the editing techniques in a small sequence.

This video, similar to 'The Lift ABS' went well as I created a tense atmosphere and a fast paced video overall. Although, in my opinion there are some shots which I either cut to long, like when she left the lift, and other shots in which I cut to short like in the last few clips, which probably could have been a little longer.

Overall, this video shows that I know how to edit a video effectively, but can also critically asses my own video honestly so I can improve.

The Lift ABS

(Task 2/3)

This is a video I made demonstrating the editing techniques for an exiting scene in my school.
In this video I used the techniques:

• Matching on action
• Eye Line Matching
• Continuity of motion
• Cut away

I think this edit was pretty successful because I managed to create a tense atmosphere, and create a hurried mood for the video. However I think could have been better if I had used a tripod, but we didn't have one at the time. Or if I added a cool soundtrack, like 'The Bourne Ultimatum' soundtrack!

Overall, this video shows that I know how to edit a video effectively, but can also critically asses my own video honestly so I can improve.

The Tech Of Editing

The Tech Of Editing from Lucasjwarren (Task 1)

This is a slide show portrays the development of editing technology and tracks the key moments in its development.

This shows that I have researched relevant information and used it to show my understanding of the developed technology.
