Introduction to editing

The Gloaming

What is editing?

Selecting from different shots and joining them together to tell a story.

What is Elliptical editing?

This type of editing is usually used to allow the audience to fill in the gap, move the story on more quickly and takes up less time on screen.

Why are long shots used?

Long shots are usually used to set the scene, and show the audience the location and what’s surrounding the character/characters.

What is ‘non-diagetic sound’?

Music is playing but character can’t hear as it is not playing at the location but would have been added when editing. Therefore the digectic sound is the natural sound heard in the specific location.

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

The shot follows the previous shot so the audience fills in the gap. For example the first was a CU of her looking down which cut to a close up of her hands picking up a ring. Usually this is a quicker way to make the same point.

Hustle

Overhead establishing shot – what does this achieve?

The Director sets out the space in which the scene will take place and the characters position in the room.

What is Shot-Reverse-Shot?

Cutting back and forth usually during a conversation between two characters assuming they are looking and speaking to each other.

What is Eye-line matching?

When two characters eyes match so the audience is aware that they are looking at each other.

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

So you can see their faces and see the reactions to the plan and to the different characters.

What is a wipe?

To move the action to a different location.

What is the effect of using quick cuts?

Creates a fast rhythm, which moves the story along and keeps the audience on their toes.

I have posted my video profile on to my blog. From my feedback I have received some positives and some negative comments that I mainly agree with.

Looking back at my video I am very proud of the shots I have used especially the close up of my eyes. I am also happy with the music I added as it goes with my profile very well. To make my video profile more professional I could of used a better camera so the quality would improve. I would of chosen a different and a range of locations to improve the look of my video by doing this my video would look more interesting and also more professional. A boom mic would have made the sound much better as the mic on the camera wasn’t great so you can hear fuzzy noises at times.  A monopod and a tripod would have been very useful when filming my profile as the angles and shots would of looked much more professional therefore would make my profile more effective as the audience will be more interested in what I am saying etc.

If there was an opportunity to do my profile again I would improve on quite a lot like the sound quality, the amount of talking I done and also the sequences of shots I would of used the five shot rule. I would of also shown more pictures/video to relate to what I am talking about at a certain time, this would of made my profile more effective as the audience would be able to convey what I am talking about.

“Improvement could be made on the sound and you could have added a bit more about yourself.” This is one of the criticisms I received for my video I agree with this because at times I went quite while I was talking I also did not say as much as I could of about myself. The transitions I used was effective this Is one of the positive comments I received.

(Instrumental to a J Cole song) My name is Kiana-Eshe and I am 17 years old. I was born 6th June 1995. Something unique about me is I have been a anaphylactic all my life, which means if I eat something im allergic to I can go into shock which can be very serious, I am allergic to dairy products, fish, egg and nuts. One of my interests is film, my favourite genre is Horror/Thriller and I hope to make this genre of films one day. I Study Media at city of Westminster is a step towards becoming a brilliant film director. So far I have directed and produced my first short film and I was second assistant director on a feature film. One very important thing you should know about me is I believe that J Cole is the best artist around. (Chorus for song comes in) I cannot go a day without listening to at least one of his songs. I have had the chance to see him perform live twice. (Back to instrumental)
