Editing video feedback/learner response

Editing video feedback/learner response

Create a new blogpost called 'Editing video feedback and learner response'. Make sure your video is on YouTube and embedded in this blogpost. 

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

WWW (= character point)

  • Excellent, detailed planning (= character point)
  • Effective use of fade in at the start
  • Excellent cinematography – range of shots
  • Match-on action – entering room, opening locker, etc.
  • Great shot from inside the locker
  • Engaging narrative – enigma codes
  • POV shots going down the stairs and along corridor
  • Great audio editing – headphones removed, music stops
  • Different transitions used

 

EBI

  • Audio levels still a bit uneven – some distortion

2) Type up your feedback from fellow students.

WWW:

-Good use of editing
-Good use of Cinematography 
-Excellent Planning
-Excellent Props
-Funny
-Good Narrative
-Good match on action
-Good lighting
-Good soundtrack
-Good costume such as Dior sunglasses
-Good transition
-Good use of diegetic and non diegetic 
-Good range of shots
-Good wipe shot transition
-Nice locker Shot
-180 Rule used
-Good acting
-Different shots such as POV Shots 
-Pace of the film

EBI:

-Cuts could be improved


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

Yes I think I met the brief and included the 3 editing aspects of match-on-action, shot-reverse-shot and the 180 degree rule during the scene where the two characters were interacting and having a conversation. There were many match-on-action shots including, getting the note from the locker and entering the classroom as well as walking up the stairs in the first two shots.

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.

I think that the strengths were the key aspects of mise-en-scene that that built suspense and tension as well as enigma codes that all established the subtle mystery narrative. I also think the cinematography added to this and the editing was a good factor in also emphasising the narrative with good cuts and transitions between shots. I think the sound played well, parallel to all the scenes and also there was good pace match between the sound and video. However, I think a weakness would be to to fix the sound and make sure that it's volume isn't too low while keeping it muffled. Also, there was one shot that had a little dimmer lighting than the others because the quality wasn't the best since it got transported from another phone through Whatsapp instead of airdrop.

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?

I think the hardest part was trying to discover new tools and editing actions as I had to research it online on how to find and use certain editing tools such as the ability to muffle sound but it wasn't too hard to find videos on Youtube that explain how it all works. I have now learned, however different methods of video transitions that I can add in my videos in the future and also overall, from all of the practical we have done this year, I am confident with editing and creating videos and tasks, including key aspects of mise-en-scene, sound, lighting, cinematography and editing.

Finished recreation video scene

Link to original: (0:22 - 0:54) https://youtu.be/e8_Z7-97mIw Link to my video:  https://youtu.be/jYYWVSgewmY 100 word explanation: Me and my friends decided to recreate an iconic scene from Gossip girl where one girl being rude to another girl by not inviting her to the biggest party of the year. They girls wear sophisticated outfits to show that they are living their successful lives in the upper class world and to emphasise their class. There is also non-diegetic sound playing in the background, which creates tension and adds to the drama in the scene. The facial expressions of the girls reveal the personalities of each of the girls, which can also be seen by their behaviour in the scene.

Parallel and contrapuntal sound practical task

 My video link: https://youtube.com/shorts/UEMq9-koHfQ Description: I did a montage of images under the violin version of a pop music sound that connoted elegance with the violin sound but also brightness, confidence and happiness due to it being a pop music sound. This genre often emphasises excitement and energy into a media text. The first couple of images in my video are contrapuntal to the sound used as they are in black and white so they connote depression, sadness, and gothic vibes, which contrasts the sound and the following images of pop art and colourful pictures that are more parallel to the music playing in the background.

Mise-en-scene recreation planning

Mise-en-scene recreation - full task list: Create a blogpost called 'Mise-en-scene recreation planning' and complete the following tasks: 1) Get into groups of up to four. Note: although the planning and filming can be done as a group, all students  MUST  edit their  OWN  version of the chosen scene. Make a note of who you are working with. Done with my friends (group of 4 including myself) 2) Create a  plan  of how you will do the recreation using  CLAMPS . For each aspect of mise-en-scene, work out how you will recreate it as accurately as possible to the original.  PLAN: Costume- the characters on the steps are wearing classy outfits and look sophisticated as they are the ones who are in control in this scene. The character of Jenny is wearing pink clothing, which shows how girly she is and how she aspires to be like the girls on the steps. Lighting - scene is in broad daylight in front of everyone at a public place. Actor placement, movement, ...
