Editing video feedback and 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:
  • Fade in / out
  • Match on action - door opening, sitting down, walk through doors
  • Handheld tracking shot
  • Post-production - use of titles, B&W CCTV cameras
  • Simple narrative
  • Detailed planning (=character point)
EBI:
  • A more coherent and developed narrative

2) Type up your feedback from fellow students.
WWW:

- Good planning

- Sound track

- Props

- Match on action

- 180 degree rule

- Good use on angles 

EBI:

- More developed narative

3) Now reflect on your video. Did you meet the brief and successfully include the three key editing aspects we have learned?
I was able to successfully include the three key editing aspects that we have learned. (I80 degree rule, match on action and shot/reverse/shot). However, the shot/reverse/shot could have been longer.

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.
The strengths of my video was that I was able to produce a video that has the key editing aspects, especially the match on actions that I was able to connect the clips together at the right time such as, when the character was opening the door, when the character sat down and when the character walks through doors. In addition, I was able to produce more than one match on action as well as not breaking the 180 degree rule when the characters were talking. Also, I was able to use my editing skills such as the transition of fading in / out from when the characters were sitting to my character going to lesson, which shows that time was moving. Furthermore, the use of the editing in post-production where there was a high angle shot of the character to mimic a CCTV camera as well as the B&W filter and the titles. However, my weakness is the idea that my video was not long and the narrative was not developed and clear as it only showed the characters asking for work and going to lesson, I think it would have been better if I added a good plot to it.

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 aspects of editing that I find the most difficult was connecting the clips at the right time as you have to be sophisticated to allow the clips to flow together in harmony. Also, I also find it difficult to imrpove my videos when the clips that I have recorded are limited, which also links to the idea of a more developed narrative. I have learned from this process that I have to start thinking on how to develop my narratives more and recording the clips longer based on what I have planned out.

Mise-en-scene recreation

  1. Sanjivani and Zoha 2. CLAMPS Costume: -One of the female character, the damsel in distress is wearing a blue cardigan which connotes her casualty and how she seems to be comfortable. -One of the male character, the sidekick of the villain is wearing a white shirt which connotes his attempt to be formal, however the shirt has a blood stain on it which could connote violence and how brutal he is behind his formality which could be the binary opposition of peacefulness and rebellion. -One of the female character, the antagonist is wearing a full black duster which could connote her mysteriousness which could be represented as the enigma codes of the movie as well reinforcing the idea of her being the villain. Lighting: -The low key lighting around the screen could connote the enigma codes and how there's a lingering danger around the damsel in distres s.  -The high key lighting when the antagonist is revealed could reinforce the revelation of the identity of the vil...

Lighting blog task

Image
  1) Still image analysis Look at the still images on slides 33-37 of the Film Language Powerpoint linked above. Copy the images into your blog and answer the following questions for each image: Identify examples of high and low-key lighting. Say which depict top, back or under lighting. What effects are created by the lighting in each image?      1. Low-key lighting connoting enigma, where the light focuses on the smoke which could connote that she could be hiding something. 2. The lighting seems to be coming from the back or side of the female character to kind of emphasise her facial expression which could also suggest that she's the villain. 3.The effects created by lighting could be the idea that she's the villain due to the light not being totally directed at her which could connote that she may have a dual character or the idea that she could be hiding something. 1. It is a low-key lighting, connoting...

Sound video feedback and learner response

  1) Type up your feedback from your teacher. WWW: Very good parallel section Good choice of images Use of dissolves Good pace of editing Videos and still images Own images and footage EBI: Contrapuntal section not clear 2) Type up your feedback from fellow students - you can summarise key points if several students give you similar feedback. WWW: Good variety of images and videos Use of music/editing Exactly one minute long Good use of parallel sound Own images EBI: Contrapuntal could be more clear Make the images on beat to the song 3) Now reflect on your work and write your own evaluation of your video. Write a 'What went well' (WWW) paragraph and a paragraph for 'Even Better If' (EBI) underneath the rest of your feedback. What went well on my video was that I was able to make a one minute video where I used a variety of my own image and footage. I was also able to manage to use the parallel sound clearly and the editing where I used transitions for the video. It...
