26.02.2014 - CONSTRUCTION: EDITING

Me editing shots on iMovie on the Mac


In todays lesson we continued working on the footage we uploaded. We used a variety of transitions between shots including:

1. Fade away transitions - when the previous shot fades into the middle of the screen into the next shot
2. Jump transitions - when the previous shot jumps into the next shot without fading or moving to either left or right
3. Blurring transitions - whent he previous shot visibly blurs into the next shot (making the next shot blurred and skewed vision for a second before becoming in focus again)

When editing we realised that there were a lot of shots that we were unable to contemplate using as they were out of focus, the models in view were smiling or not foucussed themselves on film or cars driving through the shot by accident as well as background noise including airplanes, trains, cars beeping or driving past or even talking from the general public.

Things yet to be completed:

1. Adding all of the chosen footage
2. Making the whole film black and white
3. Adding the ident
4. Adding our title (last fading out with blood)
5. Adding each member of the groups name and number at the begining
6. Adding all of the transitions between the shots
7. Adding sound effects  - clip clop of heels on concrete, gun shot, gun being reloaded, train departing from the station, grandfather clock ticking

Editing shots of a parcel being wrapped (chosen to start the film opening creating enigma)

An example of a shot being out of focus - deleted
