Favourite Scene

Favourite Scene

Out of all the scenes in the opening I must say my favourite was most when the blue book was shut. Reason behind this, is because of how sharp the footage was in these clips and how well I managed to stitch them together without having bumps and jumps. This took a fair amount of effort and tries, to get the timing/framing correct. If it was one frame too much or too little it would seem wrong and not fit well at all so editing like this take time and cannot be rushed through. Overtime it gets quicker as you would become more familiar with the program and editing would then become second nature too.

The book shutting also signifies rage as the book is not shut with care, but in fact quite abrupt. Thus, portraying anger. We then learn that the student did not do so well in his ‘exam’. And so every minute detail can add so much clarity to a single scene. This scene was not scripted for AJ to slam the book yet AJ played it so much better, and so being part of the casters this made us happy that we casted him and that he was able to get into character so well.


How I made it?

It took 4 different angles and shots for this one small scene to be made and it takes time to make it as sharp as possible. I used Premier Pro to do this and made the scene slightly sharper. It was very handy that the entire movie was shot in 4K, as the quality was already crisp.

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. Editing the way I did, I was able to achieve a glow around the singer making his stand out more and, quite a lot of the glow was made to fit the music and the dance moves. 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. It seems that they must have been either betting or dealing, as we see an exchange of money take place between two men. 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 ...
