Workshops

Editing workshop "Zero to hero"

Zero to hero was another editing workshop by Ferg. During this session we learned how to put together a sequence more efficiently. We got given a task of creating a short one minute edit with the interviews and b rolls provided.


During this session we explored quite a few thing which would help us produce better quality edits more efficiently one of those being, managing audio channels. This was really helpful as i now knew how to remove the background noise from each clip and manipulate audio in the way I wanted. 

when editing the video I decided to only include the clips from the 2 winners of all the races as I helped me help it to a minute long. using the interview of the drivers I removed all the background noise to so it would sound better in the outcome, I done that by deleting a few audio channels as I learned earlier. I also added videos on top fo the interview to keep the transitions smoother. One thing that I really liked about the whole edit was the transition between the two racers interviews using the shimmering title.

If I did the edit agin one thing I would try to improve on would be the voice over as on some of the clips I feel like they didn't really fit as well as I thought they would.

When starting the edit I was quite confused as I didn't know how to approach the clips or even what order to put everything in, as it was my first time ever editing video. However I quickly go the hang of it. whilst listening audio and the dialog I started to figure out what I wanted to do with the clips provided. 

in the audio he talks about how he was always a social thinker which infers that he only learned an thought about things when he was with others, and as time when by and he read more and more books he started to drift away and became more isolated, he was enjoying reading and being on he's own.

when editing i tried changing the clips on the beat of the audio to make it flow a lot better, for example the b tool of the book shelf,  it worked well however if I did it next time I would try and make it less delayed as it took away from the actually video.

Im still really happy with the outcome as it is a first edit I've done.

Short film review "Identity" by K.J. Adames

Image
 In this review I will be going over K.J. Adames short film "Identity" which Is about about living in a society where everyone hides their true identity using masks. in the first scene of the film we are introduced to the main character which is the girl. we see her looking back at herself in the mirror and looking happy and proud. however that goes away quickly as everything starts going back in reverse and we see her emotions fade. this was a way to intrigues the audience on what's to come later. this was very interesting because for me as a viewer as it puts me in a weird uncomfortable feeling which intrigues me on what's to come. as the reverse finishes at 1:10 we now see the same girl in her school canteen but now she is wearing a mask and so is everyone else around her. As we cut to her we can see that she is very uncomfortable and unsociable as she chooses to sit on her own. from that scene we can also see that she is very different from everyone else as she is...

Mood boards  When studying William Wordsworth's composition on Westminster Bridge, I decided to concentrate on two lines of the people, one of which is "The beauty of the morning; silent, bare." For this part, I've decided to take it literally and capture the sunrise of a beautiful morning, but I'm still undecided about the location I'd like to use for my shoot; however, the images above are what I was thinking of going for. I had the idea of the sun and the moon meeting in some way to tie the two very different ideas together. One way the two could be linked is through a flickering light, the idea of a lightbulb flickering and exploding or shutting off, and the entire mood of the adaptation changing and turning into a type of horror. The second line that I wanted to highlight was "The very houses seem asleep," since it reminded me of abandoned houses, which have a horror connotation. The images above are some of the shoot concepts I was considering ...

Final evaluation directions

 The directions unit I thought was very interesting. there has been a lot of things that I have learnt and tons of skills I have improved on. I have learnt how to storyboard, work with different lighting, I found out different things a director has to focus on that I had no clue previously. I enjoyed doing the storyboard as it was a way of getting my ideas on paper. another part I thought was really helpful was the workshops as they're not just for the directions unit, the skills I have learned for example the lighting can be incorporated into almost any other unit and it is just a big part of the film in general.    one downside of the unit was the fact that we were in lockdown so it was quite hard to focus and just get things done during the period, this also got us away from the filming part which would have been very interesting just to see the outcome and the difference between the scene you chose and the final outcome.
