Editing

Friday the 24th October 2008

For today's lesson, we moved on from our original task and focused on thriller films, where our aim for the lesson and homework was to investigate the codes and conventions of thriller films, and their theories as well as sub genres.

Ms Rudhun gave us a website which would help us with this research.

www.mediaguardian.co.uk

During the half term, we have to watch 3 or more thriller films where we have to annotate and identify the sub genres.

Using the clips we had filmed on Saturday, which was uploaded for us on apple mac's for us to edit, where we individually had to cut out clips which was not needed for our own assessment. However, for my group, it was slightly harder, as our clip was not in sync with the actions, as a result we had to separate the voice clip and the clip itself to line up the voices with the actions.
I personally, found this task very difficult. After spending majority of the lesson trying to fix up the voices, this left me with little time cutting out unwanted clips.

Today was the day when me and my group goes to South bank centre to film. For each of the scenes, we filmed several shots, so that when it comes to editing we could choose, which shot was the best to use. Each member of our group, too it in turns to film and shared our ideas on the changes that needed to be made.
Towards the end, we used a low angle shot from the characters point of view with a 18o degree shot which was required, although this shot was really difficult, we manage to do it in the end.
