Continuity Edit- Final cut
This is our final video for our Continuity edit. Once we filmed all of the video, we processed our footage and imported it into Adobe Premiere. We, as a a group, then put the video together in such a way that we thought meaning was shown clearly throughout the video, and there weren't any problems with the continuity. By this we had to assess the shot types, duration's, placements of the clips, and angles. If we edited the video so that some certain features as such didn't look fully correct, the continuity wouldn't look as clean and meaning may be slightly more tricky to comprehend. Such as, if we filmed the person walking in two completely different angles, it may look strange and the simple walking action might look disjointed. So we had to take this into consideration when editing and shooting the video. We also followed the 180 degree rule throughout the video, as required in our task guidelines.
We then thought about the sound of the video. The guidelines of our task said that we need to use an example of non-diegetic sound. So we found a sample of music from a film trailer, and we put it over our video. We thought this helped to set the tone of our video and add a more realistic approach. getting the viewers more drawn in. After lots of editing and mixing around clips, we felt that this cut was good and suitable for the continuity editing task. This was because there wasn't any major problems we could see with the cut, and we felt that continuity has been shown finely. We had also played around with the duration of clips quite a lot to ensure a consistent, flowing series of clips.
Our group now has a better understanding on how to edit clips and sequencing. We now have a greater understanding on how to edit clips without any breaks or irregularities, and now we have gained more teamwork when it comes to producing video.

ReplyDeleteAll the technical criteria has been demonstrated from the brief, executed with excellent accuracy. The integration of the SRS, Match on action and the 180 degree rule within your narrative has been constructed in post-production effectively. There is a good range of camera competencies demonstrated, with angles, shot distances and framing carefully considered. Reflect carefully on the use of a zoom out at the start when perhaps lengthening the distance between camera and character would have maintained further consistency in the style of filming. Think carefully about the reason for the decision, instead of including it for the sake of it. Editing is very good overall, as is the use of sound and mise-en-scene. Background noise when in the cafe needed to have been deleted as it does not add any verisimilitude to the scene, along with a person just appearing in the shot. Set up your scene carefully when shooting. Further to this, the final match on action needs to be smoother in terms of length of each shot in the sequence. Nevertheless there is excellent technical competencies shown; be aware of the "little errors" that have been overlooked when working in post-production. Use your team wisely.
