editing video feedback learner response

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

A solid video that meets the very nice narrative that engages the audience match on action is used in places but also opportunities to use it in more places. Conversation is handled well timing is good shot reverse shot is spot-on and framing of over. The shoulder. Shots is good, refreshing use of angle deliberate? Flashback communicated okay but perhaps as a cutaway would have worked better.
2) Type up your feedback from fellow students.

180°  rule done perfectly match on action and sort of reverse shot done well I liked the flashback scene. Unique good use of props and costumes. The shot was also good in term of angles.


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

I believe that I met the brief perfectly as I demonstrated my ability to use match on and shot reverse shot while not breaking the 180 degree rule, I also believe that this video was much better in terms of video and audio quality compared to previous works however my timing could be slightly better.

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 believe that a strength of my film was my ability to reproduce seamless match cuts while delivering a clean shot reverse shot however one weakness would be my timing for one of the match cuts. Another weakness would be a lack of music during the film to create feelings or an atmosphere.

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 most challenging aspect would be match cuts as sometimes it comes down to a difference of a few frames to create a seamless transition. I have learned that camera quality, audio quality and timing are the three most important aspects because without timing then continuity won't be in effect and if the audio quality is bad then the video becomes unwatchable.

Sound analysis

  The clip below is from dumber and dumber. In the clip below the  diegetic  sound comes from the characters and their dialogue. It can also be seen through the two main characters repeated use of annoying phrases and noises.  Diegetic  audio being audio only the characters in the scene can hear. The  sound bridge  can be seen when the car stops to pick other people up and the guitar starts playing a few seconds before the camera shifts to reveal the people in the back of the car singing along to the song. The music is a bizarre focal point because it is not instrumental or digital but instead it is created by the two main characters as they sing along in harmony. The dialogue can be used to represent the two main characters personalities and their relationship as through the harmonic singing and constant noises which match each others it becomes evident that they are close friends. The music that the characters make is parallel because it perfectly represents their mental state and th

misc en scene recreation by laith

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuZTa3JmcCs - Link to recreation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6f0w5BRasw&t=58s - scene i chose to recreate I chose karate kid because I believed that it wouldn't be easy however not too challenging as it would allow me to practice my film making, I chose to recreate a action packed scene in which the two main characters fight. I used two different phone cameras to record from different angles. What went well? The angles and transitions were pretty good in my opinion and the music perfectly created tension along the recreation and moreover another thing that went well is the acting considering me and my friend had never undergone any prior acting experience at all. What could be improved? Mainly the acting, camera quality and audio quality could be vastly improved also with less background noise and steadier camera movement however considerent the budget which was £0 these issues are miniscule. Lines where printed out on pieces of paper for m
