Editing video feedback/learner response



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shYHb-vrvgg

1) Type up your feedback/comments from your teacher.

*Match on action at the start is spot on walking through door, could perhaps be a little smoother getting to chair.
*Good framing for OTS shot/reverse shot (focus wobble aside) and follows 180 rule.
*Huge issue is audio- could not hear the dialogue at all due to music volume and distortion of dialogue audio track. Very important lesson for coursework.  

2) Type up your feedback from fellow students.

3) Now reflect on your video. Did you meet the brief and successfully include the three key editing aspects we have learned?

I felt like I met the brief successfully as I did meet and achieve all the key three editing aspects (Match on  action, 180 rule, Shot reverse shot) in my video.

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.

I feel like my match on action at the beginning of my video was perfect as it was very smooth of me coming from outside and then the shot changing me coming into the room and shutting the door behind me. What I feel like really let me down was the audio as the use of my contrapuntal music was way to loud which lead to the dialogue between me and Sohail becoming absolutely distorted and muffled. 

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 most difficult part of editing I found for this coursework was trying to get the smoothness and the cuts all in the right places in time. This is because during my cuts and editing I was doing it became difficult for me to cut at the right time of the dialogue between me and Sohail so I had to be precise and on target for when I was cutting the dialogue between each other. I have learnt many things during this process which will 100% help for when the real coursework happens as I have now learnt how to use Adobe Premiere Pro and feel more comfortable around using it as at the start of they year I had no clue on how to edit and cut my scenes or place them all into the right order and due to these many practical task we have been set I have begun to improve and do more better in my editing. What I wished I spent some time on was the After Effects on Adobe as I still have yet to try them out and to see how to add and create effects into my actual coursework next year.

You can also use  any other aspects of film language  that we have studied in your analyis - just like the in-class clips where we discuss how editing combines with cinematography, sound or mise-en-scene. 0:00-1:35 minutes of this clip.  In the beginning of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, the scene starts off with dramatic tension building music with a close up shot of a persons gun and their hand coming slowly toward it in a slow cautious way to show to the audience that something is about to happen and that the use of prop of the gun can connote to the audience that there is danger and violence coming up. 5-30 seconds into the clip, the pace and use of the editing starts a
