Prelim Edit

Chapter Fourteen:

"A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way."

Preliminary Task - Final Editing

After filming my prelim task, I used Adobe Premiere to edit it.
I imported all rushes and placed them into bins. I then chose what rushes I wanted to use and labeled them. When trimming the rushes I learnt it was important to make sure timing and continuity were accurate.  During the shot where the character is walking through the door and we see her feet it was important to make sure the timing was correct in the match on action shot. I made sure to use lots of different shots and angles in the editing. I am happy with the finished product.

It then cuts back to the actors in a wide shot exchanging a few words.

There is then a low angle over the shoulder shot making the front facing actress seem superior.

The wide angle shows the difference between the two characters. We see one is much more in control.

We then cut back to a high angle over the shoulder shot making one actor seem less powerful.

We see one of the actors leave the room and we hear the door open, this is diegetic sound.

Then the shot cuts back to a low angle over the shoulder shot to make the actress have more power again.

 

 

We use a close up to show the actors reaction to the situation and focus on the expression.

We then see and hear the door closing once the actor h
