Editing

When editing I had to take into consideration the different techniques I would have to use to ensure  that the film opening would make sense and flow all together. Using my knowledge from previous attempts I  used the different shots we filmed and played around with them to get these techniques in to ensure we get a good grade. This includes: 

1. Shot/Reverse Shot - When you cut from a person, to a object, then back to the person
2. Cross Cuts - When the editing takes us from one place to another, as this may suggest the two things are linked. This can also be called Parallel Editing
3. Transitions -  Effects added during editing E.g. Fades ( Fading to black may indicate something sad or good has happened ) Dissolves ( One clip dissolving into another may suggest the action or character in the two scenes are closely linked)
4. Slow/Fast Motion - When the footage is slowed down or speeded up. Slow down may help us take in a dramatic action or may help us to focus on a important prop. 
5. Eyeline Match - Used to create the sense that we see from a character's perspective - we see a character look in a certain direction - then cut to the object. This creates the illusion that the character is looking at the object.
