Studying Zack King

As I am going to be editing the opening scene for our project, I decided to study up Zack King, in order to grasp a better understanding of editing. This was because I found his editing to be a very soft, and not at all abrupt. the way he clicks his fingers and 'teleport's' to another place is quite fascinating, because it all done within a split second. This mad me wonder how he did it and so I learnt that he edits frame by frame, so that the change is smooth yet quick. So I went away and decided to edit around 15 seconds of a music video, frame by frame. This took quite a while as editing frame by frame is very tedious, and time consuming, but as I got the hang of it, I began to edit much faster and efficiently.

So as he swings his arm to the right of the screen, I add blue lines ejecting from h...

Dead Man's Shoe Scene Analysis

In lesson, we watched a 3-minute clip of dead man’s shoe, and straight away we see a lot of confrontation. We learn that there is something about to arise from what took place in what looks briefly looked like a mental hospital though it could also be a wreck centre as there was a Snooker table. As it starts off, it seems very grey and bright at the same time. During the time in this hall a man in a green jacket is seen staring at a dodgy male in a beanie.

As the clip progresses the male in the beanie confront the man in the green jacket in a vulgar manor. We now learn that these men are in fact British, we learn this from their accent. The man in the green jacket replies twice as vulgar, supposedly scaring of the man who confronted him. At 50 seconds, we see the same man in the green jacket standing outside with his friend as we watch on a small car flies ...

CUMPULSORY QUESTIONS

CQ 1:How do your product use or challenge conventions? Our production most definitely challenges conventions. Reason behind this is, we have made our opening scene so that it is going against mainstream movies. We did this by portraying bullying through the protagonists point of view. We noticed various movies were showing it through the victims eye, but there is always two sides to a story. 2:How does your product represent social groups or issues? Our product represent bullying in social groups, for example the final scene of our opening is 'Drew' is complaining about Billy to his two best friends. And what makes it worse is his friends indirectly urge him on to do something drastic. This represents a very dangerous group of friends. 3:How does your product engage with audiences? The product engages with certain types of audiences deeply and other not so much. Those who feel it deeply have most likely been a victim to some type of bullying, or have ...
