Editing Review- Video


During the editing our final product, we have made a variety of creative decisions concerning;
  • Lighting- we have changed the saturation and exposure levels in our ident sequence and throughout our first minute of footage. This has allowed the audience to be able to see the action clearer. Also, in perticular scenes,we have dimmed the exposure in order to create specific connotations. For example, we darkened the exposure in the ident sequence in order to connote mystery, the unknown and a general atmosphere of darkness
  • Speed- we have also altered the pace at which certain shots play for. We have slowed some down to emphasise an important object or person. In contrast, we have sped them up in order to cause confusion and disorientation.
  • Opacity- we have changed the opacity of several shots in our product. We have done this in order to confuse and disorientate our audience.
  • Transitions- we have used a variety of different transitions through-out or product, but I feel that the most effective of thses was the cross dissolve we added between a master shot of the girl walking and a zoom of the stream. We have done this to maintain the pace and continuity, which is difficult as all our shots are fairly short.
  • Effects & Filters- we have heavily edited the second minute of footage in our product. For example, we have added flashes and changed the filter to 'Numerik'. We have done this in order to represent the darkness of the life the daughter is now living and to emphasise the alert nature of her personality


Here is a screenshot from our footage on Final Cut Pro that demonstates the effects of our creative choices;
