Final Cut- Continuity editing task
















When filming the final cut we had to take into account our problems from the first cut.
we paid more attention on making sure that the actors head was not cut off the screen during filming as this would significantly lower our grade.
If you notice that on the final cut the camera was a lot stiller that the fist cut as we had got more familiar with using cameras and how to handle them.
Our use of SRS was a lot more improved as they were filmed over one of the actors shoulders.

finally we one thing we added was that before myself and Aman walked through the doors there was an establishing shot to introduce the scene a lot better.

  1. You need the first cut uploaded and evaluated along with my comments and feedback- really important. OK?

  2. Your evaluation of the final cut needs to be much more technical so much more!!!!!

  3. Level 1: 15/60

    A lot of work is to be done in your understanding of how to use the camera to engage the audience and subsequently your shot selection and the reasons for them. I have the sense you have simply pointed the camera to film, instead of pointing the camera to really construct meaning in relation to the plot and story.
    You attempt match on action but it is not executed well, and further understanding of this technique is needed. There needs to be more fluidity across the shots to engage the audience into the idea of time passing. Your sense of clipping and timing in the editing process needs a lot more attention to detail to make the sequence seamless. Continuity is lost as you move from characters walking to a shot of the feet which start from a standing position.
    There is no actual SRS evident, and this particular technique is one you need to address. Your technical understanding of camera use is in need of a lot of further consideration. SRS is from the POV of each character and not with the character in the middle of the frame not a simple two-shot. Thus it should be shot over the shoulder of the character. 180 degree rule is fine but your planning should try to convey your understanding of this rule better.
