Task 13: Advanced Editing Techniques

Task 13- Advanced editing techniques: Jump cut

From completing this task, I have learnt how to create an effective jump cut sequence to match the emotion of frustration. This is through getting a clip and cutting parts out creating a sense of time and also anger. By doing it well, the piece should look irregular to create tension and include shots that last for longer than other ones and then shorter  than other ones. I think from doing this task I will be comfortable with putting a jump cut into my finished product and I think that it would go well in an eerie or mysterious music video.



More advanced editing techniques:

This task allowed us to focus on harder and better looking techniques. We went out and had to film numerous shots that we could link up that has something change whilst still looking seamless. This worked really well in the 360 jump shot as it looks pretty much exact, however, we did find problems which can be seen within the clips. We didn't use a tripod so it looked obvious that it was edited together as opposed to the seamless edit.
Also, we found it hard to think creatively so we had to copy some videos that had already been made. Overall, i think we made a good effort and have learnt how editing 2 different shots together of pretty much the same thing work together to create a nice and unique shot which i will be thinking of using within my final project.

This task allowed us to use a green screen to make the character be in another place. From doing this, we did encounter some problems as it was our first time using a green screen. In some of the clips, the screen is visible and the background to the room can be seen, to fix this next time, we would use a longer green screen or a taller person to hold it. Also, it can be seen that the camera moves due to not using a tripod to film. This makes the video seem irregular and not seamless. However, i think by using a green screen, we can think of more ways to make our overall piece look better than others by using different filming techniques. I also learnt, from this task, how they work and how to improve our methods of using it which will be crucial if used in our final piece where we would not want any mistakes.
