Editing Techniques Practice

Image
Graphic Match Me and my group have come up with the idea of having a female detective looking into three murder victims.This is to clearly establish her role as the female detective we then intended to use a graphic match technique to introduce the killer through juxtaposition. We used a cross dissolve technique for the the graphic match. Which blended the female officer with the murderer.  The screenshot on the left shows the graphic match in effect as the female detective gets up to leave the room the murderer is in the middle of sitting down getting ready to decide who his next victim will be. The Juxtaposition within this is that the female officer is about to be done for the day where as her opposite (the murderer) is just getting started. Finally the last scene shows the murderer sitting down circling his next victim he then proceeds to do a menacing laugh which suggests that he's made up his mind. Match on Action

Murder Mystery Trailer Analysis

The composition of shots in this trailer is very cleverly constructed so as to mirror the pace of the film. The start of the trailer is pieced together in a way which makes it clear to the audience the genre of the film as soon as the trailer begins. The music played in the background from the start adds to the effect of the transition from blank screen to the opening shot. It is eerie and unsettling and the deep voice which is played in the voice over take you by surprise. As soon as the words "Sherlock Holmes" are spoken everyone is instantly aware of what they are watching as this is a well known name. The composition of flash shots which follow are designed to make the audience jumpy and exited as they have heard a name they recognise and now need to be impressed. the quick beats Incorporated into the continuing background music match the flashes in the shot transitions and add to the overall effect. To start with the lighting is dim and creepy, adding to the atmosphere

Transitions

Image
Transitions Video transitions are a post-production technique used in film or video editing to connect one shot to another. Often when a filmmaker wants to join two shots together, they use a basic cut where the first image is instantly replaced by the next. However when a filmmaker wants to convey a particular mood, jump between story lines, switch to another point of view or move backwards and forward in time this is when more artistic transitions are used. Fade in/Fade out A fade is when the scene gradually turns to a single color usually black or white or when a scene gradually appears on screen. Fade ins occur at the beginning of a film or scene, while fade outs are usually at the end. A fade to black (the most common transition type) is a dramatic transition that often symbolizes the passage of time or signifies completion. Fading to black is used to move from a dramatic or emotional scene into another scene, or to the credits at the end of a film. Fading to white, on th

Purpose of Editing

Development of Drama:   The way footage is edited can determine the intensity of the shots in a film where drama is key. When creating and developing drama in a film, it depends on a number of things such as the camera shots. In drama films, they use a lot of reaction shots, this is to signify how one or more characters act to a situation that has occurred. They also use prolonged shots because they want to build up tension and create a sense of danger by doing this. Developing drama all comes down to emotion and how they react and deal with that, after the 'drama element' has taken place. Combining shots into sequences:   Combining shots into sequences is the process of placing shots together and making them all flow into each other. Firstly when all the shots are individually edited they can then be placed into a successful sequence, and the quality of the editing will determine how smoothly the sequence flows. The editing needs to be so good that its almost invisible to t
