Practice Filming and Editing
Due to our own footage not being compatible with the macs, our own film was not possible to edit. Unfortunately this meant we had to edit our classmates Connie and Kiara's footage. I found this a really enjoyable experience seeing as I like to edit films and make them look as professional as possible. I think that we edited the film well seeing as we concentrated on the small details and made the shots flow together as much as we possibly could. There are a variety of match on action shots and shot reverse shots within the short video. Some examples include the first MOA at 0:12 seconds and example of a shot reverse shot sequence would be between 1:09 and 1:14. We added sound effects and music that we thought were applicable to the context and made the film have a slight comedic undertone.
Its George, I like the transition for the title at the beginning of the film, it seems to suit the film quite nicely. The first camera technique with the tracking of Kiara and the close up on her hand in her pocket fit well together with a smooth transition, it also allows the audience to see what the problem is more clearly and what the piece s about (that she's lost her keys). The point of view shot where Kiara sees Connie with the keys is also a very good use of the camera as it allows us to connect with Kiara and see Connie as she does. The second point of view shot where we look at Connie as she gestures with the keys and then pulls them away is well integrated with the shot-reverse shot which flows quite well. The shot where Connie is looking at each of the cars is well implemented. The final shaky camera shot could be improved with a similar technique to the other group with the colouring of the screen. Surprisingly the soundtrack at the beginning of the clip suits it reasonably well however, the 'boing' sound doesn't really suit the moment. On the other hand the music used when Connie steals the keys and runs off works well with whats going on, as does the final music with the credits. Overall a great job on the footage and its good that you had a different view on the piece than the other group.
