Preliminary Task
Preliminary Task
The preliminary task is a demonstration of continuity editing.
In the task the scene was a police interrogation on a suspect who is though to be the murderer, who killed Danny Elbridge. I, Jack Fraser acted as the police detective who interrogated the murderer who was acted by Danny Canary. James Casal was the camera man, and was the person who edited the scenes. Ayush Bahtt was the sound man!
Evaluation
At the start of the scene, we used "eye-line match". This was when the suspect is looking off screen, and then we done a shot of what he was looking at what was the clock on the wall. Also we used "match on action" straight after. This was when we see the detective walk from the corridor and the scene carries on when he enters the room. We also used "over the shoulder" shot during the interrogation to make it more interesting. During the whole scene we used, the"180 degree rule" this is where the two characters, the detective and the suspect are in the room.
During the filming we used all the techniques correctly in each scene. However during the filming, with editing all the mistakes were cut out and joined to the next scene.
During the filming, the best scene used is the "match on action". This is because the way two scenes flow together so smoothly and i though that this scene was one of the best scene that worked out correctly.
For improvements for the filming, we could of improved it from adding more edits to it, such as more sound effects and if we could make the filming longer because it was fairly short.

Mise en Scene (Colour)
Colour
The first use of colour was in films such as Voyage a Travers L'lmpossible by the poineer Georges Melies in 1904. Here the film was hand printed frame by frame. This is fake colour. Editors would use micro scopes and very small paint brushes to paint the filming.
The next development was the introduction of two-strip technicolor using only red and green, example "The mystery of the wax museum" (1933)
The first three strip technicolor was Becky Sharp (1935).
From the 1930's to the 1940's, black and white represented reality and colour represented fantasy and spectacle, an example of this is "Wizard Of Oz" (1939)
Denotation:
The literal description of an idea, concept or object.
Connotation:
What we associate with a particular idea, concept or object
Colours works on the sub conscious mind to create mood.

Continuity Editing
Continuity Editing
Retains a scene of realistic chronology and generates the feeling that time is moving forward. It may use flashbacks or flash forwards but the narrative will still be seen to be progressing forward in an expected or realistic.
Eye-line match
We see a character looking at something off screen and then we cut to a shot of what they are looking for. This is used in film editing because it attracts the audience to the screen and makes them wonder what is there? What are the characters looking at?
Match on action
We see a character start an action in one shot and then see them continue it in the next. This creates a fast editing scene to keep the audience thrilled and amazed of the action. The shots what are continued creates tension and makes the audience to continue watching.
Graphic match
When two shots are linked with a similar shape or compositions of an image. This is used to smoothly join two scenes together without interruption.
180 degree role
The 180 degree rule is a basic guideline that states that two characters (or other elements ) in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other.
Shot reverse shot is used to show conversation/arguments.

Style of editing
Style of editing
When creating shots, they are all linked together. The movements from one shot to a next is called a transition.
There are many types of editing such as straight cut, dissolve, fade, wipes and jump cuts.
Straight cut
Dissolves
This is a shot when the end of the scene fade into the next scene on the screen. The audience will be able to see both shots on the screen at the mid-point of the dissolve, place or object. An example of when this shot is used can be show connection between two characters.
Fade
This cut is a gradual darkening or lighting of an images until it becomes black or white. One shot will fade until only a black or white screen can be seen. This shot is used to indicate the end of a particular section of time within the narrative. It can also show the passing of time.
Wipes
Wipe is used when one image is pushed of the screen by another to start a brand new scene off. The images can be pushed left or right and up and down. This is used to signal a movement. Also this is used in Star Wars collection.

Straight cut
The straight cut is the most common type of editing in film making it is know as "invisible" form of transition. One shot moves instantly to the next without attracting the audiences attention. This is because its common in most films. Also straight cuts help retain re-editing. They do not break the viewers suspension of disbelief.
Dissolves
This is a shot when the end of the scene fade into the next scene on the screen. The audience will be able to see both shots on the screen at the mid-point of the dissolve, place or object. An example of when this shot is used can be show connection between two characters.

A:S Sound Media Exercise
Sound Exercise
In the video clip, this is a filming of two characters, Wess and Wayne. Wess looses £25,000 on a night out with his girlfriend, when two men jump out of a car, and beaten up Wess with £25,000 taken from him. The next few days, Wess has a meeting with his partner, Wayne. Wayne asks for the money from Wess and Wess has to explain. Once he's explained himself, Wayne isn't happy so Wess come up with a plan to rob a bank. Wess murders a member of the bank to rob there ID card to enter the bank without no suspicion. Both together they rob the bank until they see and hear police, what happens next? watch and see!
In this exercise i used mostly all sound techniques, Digetic, On/Off Screen, and Parallel and contrapuntal. However i didn't use non-digetic. This is because in the in the editing, i added text to the end, but there was an error and didn't save to the video clip. In the future, i will take a note of this mistake and i will correct it. I also didn't have a sound bridge because there wasn't a scene where the sound bridge would fit in, however if the filming was longer i could add it in the future.
I used Digetic sounding to make the video more interesting and entertainment, because if in the editing i didn't include sound effects, the video would be boring.
I also used on/of screening, an example of this is the clip is when Wayne and Wess are talking, you can hear there voices and you can also see the source of where the sound is coming from. With off screening, an example of this is the video is at the end of the clip where you can hear police sirens, but yo can not see the police at all during the clip.
In the filming i used contrapuntal sound when the "bank friend" got murdered at the back of the bank. When he was leaving the bank, tension music was being played but the audience don't know why? To then its a normal person who's leaving work, then Wess murders him once he left.
Finally, i used parallel sound when
