Editing session 1.1
1) The team imported footage from their SD card into Premiere Pro and arranged the clips in the correct order based on their storyboards, chopping irrelevant parts from some clips.
2) They added title sequences using the Courier font in white text to make it more readable against the footage, adjusting the positioning slightly from the borders.
3) Soundtracks were imported from YouTube but needed chopping to fit the sequence length and volume adjustments to not overpower dialogue parts, though there was dispute if the chosen soundtrack added enough tension.
Teaser Trailer Editing
This is a PowerPoint presentation uploaded to slideshare on how i edited my Teaser Trailer using software such as Final Cut Pro and Adobe Flash.
Production log1
Bailey Furman created an adjustment layer to apply color corrections, cropping, and color grading uniformly across multiple shots in a production log. Key steps included cropping 12% from the top and bottom to create a black bar effect, color correcting shots that were filmed near a window, and color grading the adjustment layer to establish an aesthetic theme. Additional steps involved stabilizing moving camera shots, recording and syncing voiceovers, adjusting audio levels, adding typing sounds, compositing clips using ultra key, cropping parts of clips, nesting audio clips, and adding reverb effects.
Question 6
The document summarizes what was learned about using various technology during the construction of a film. It discusses using a digital SLR camera to control ISO and zoom, which helped make shots look more professional in dark locations and vary shot types. It also describes using a tripod to keep shots steady and allow tilting and height adjustment for different angles. A dolly was used to allow the camera to move in tracking or arc movements for a smooth professional look. Adobe Premiere software allowed editing shots, adding effects like filters to convey feelings, and transitions like dissolves for pacing and flow. Practical lights were adjusted for amount of light and brought in to expose actors in dark locations while maintaining the desired lighting look.
Targets for horror trailer
This document outlines targets for improving a horror movie trailer. It suggests reshooting a scene to improve accuracy, making injuries look more realistic, adding transitions to show the passing of time, starting with more ominous music to set the horror tone, using low-key lighting to create a scary environment, clarifying the confusing beginning, and improving acting to make it seem more real and less comedic.
Preliminary task evaluation
The group worked well together and completed the task on deadline to a good standard given their experience level. They filmed various techniques as required and the editing flowed well together, though the audio quality was occasionally low and the sound got slightly out of sync in places during editing. They used different camera techniques like tripods and steady cams and storyboarded and filmed multiple shots for flexibility in editing to polish the film. While sound quality needed improvement, the preliminary task went better than expected overall.
technologies evalutation
The document summarizes the production process for a final product video. It describes how high definition cameras with built-in memory were used to improve picture quality. Sound recording used a boom stick, microphone, and "dead cat" to block wind noise and ensure sound levels did not peak. Editing included L cuts and J cuts to improve flow. Music was commissioned and sound effects were added and balanced. Voiceovers were re-recorded for better emotion. Titles were created in After Effects using text, distortions, and light ray effects.
Film language on Star wars: the force awakens trailer
The document discusses various elements of film language used in the trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It describes how the trailer uses different camera angles, lighting, sound techniques, and editing to convey information and create mood. Specifically, it notes the trailer features close-up shots of characters, action scenes from various angles, natural lighting with some dark scenes in space, diegetic and non-diegetic sounds, and fades between scenes to transition the narrative.

Editing
This document defines and describes various terms related to video editing. It explains that clips refer to importing multiple clips into a single project. Fades transition between clips by making the screen go black and then fading into the next clip. Rendering finalizes a project by converting it to a high quality video file. Montages combine several clips with added sound to tell a story. Transitions use special effects to transition between two clips. Establishing shots set the scene at the beginning. Continuity ensures shots belong together. And color correction improves the coloring.
Poilipi
1) One of the camera shots was ruined when an umbrella dipped into the frame, requiring a title card to be added to hide the change in location. Removing the umbrella caused the lens to get wet, blurring some shots.
2) Originally, title cards between scenes were considered, but interrupting the flow did not fit the style. Text was overlaid on action shots instead to maintain pace.
3) The initial text transition idea involved objects moving over the screen to reveal and remove text, but opportunities for this effect decreased as the opening progressed.
Filming in a small area
Filming in a confined space like a small lift poses challenges for camera placement, actor movement, sound, and lighting. A GoPro camera attached to the inside of the lift with a suction cup will allow filming from high angles without equipment blocking shots. Little actor movement is required, but space is limited, so movements will need to fit effectively. Sound effects can be added later, but actor audio quality needs monitoring due to the enclosed area. A single light faced into the lift from outside may be sufficient with the lift's internal lighting also helping.
6. production reflection fmp final!!
This document summarizes Jack Bevens' process for producing a film project in Premiere. It describes importing video clips, arranging scenes in order, editing out unwanted scenes, adding subtitles for accessibility, rendering and exporting the final video, creating a trailer using dissolve transitions, and designing a poster in Photoshop using horror-themed fonts. The production process involved setting up the project, editing scenes, adding subtitles, rendering, exporting, making a trailer, and designing a poster to promote the film.
PP on music videos
The document discusses the Foo Fighters music video for "The Pretender" and analyzes its camera work, editing, mise-en-scene, and use of narrative. Camera work includes close ups, cross fades, and slow motion shots. Editing pace increases with the song tempo and builds to a confrontation with police. Mise-en-scene features clear lighting and a simple but spacious performance area. The video has little narrative and uses facial expressions to convey anger rather than a story about police.
Evaluation activity 7
The document provides an evaluation of improvements made from a preliminary film task to the final product. It summarizes that the final product used a greater variety of shots including close-ups, and camera movements to better convey emotion. Specific techniques like jump cuts and match on action editing were used, along with sound effects, to create tension. Overall the filmmakers learned lessons around shot variety, editing, and focus that helped improve the quality and storytelling of the final product compared to the earlier task.
Adding title graphics media
This document provides instructions for adding title graphics to a movie in 4 steps:
1) Find the clip to add titles to and select the "title" button to access title options.
2) Select "title still" to open the title editor where text, fonts, and positioning can be customized.
3) Edit the title text size and style using the tools on the left side of the editor screen.
4) The finished title graphic will be added to the movie timeline where it can be placed and edited with effects like fading before exporting the final film.
6. production reflection
Jack Bevens describes the process of editing a film project in Premiere. He imported videos, arranged scenes in the correct order, edited out poor scenes while saving bloopers for the end. Subtitles were added to provide equal access for deaf and hearing audiences since the film uses sign language. Font, size, color and other subtitle settings were adjusted. Finally, the film was rendered and exported at high quality to YouTube, totaling 12 minutes including bloopers.
Storyboarding basics
Storyboarding is the process of creating sketches of the shots planned for a movie script to visualize the filming. It allows filmmakers to thoroughly plan out all aspects of production, ensuring everyone has the same understanding and can better communicate. While artistic talent can help, the main priorities for storyboards are clarity and neatness. Standard symbols are used to indicate camera or object movement between frames and transitions between scenes.
Horror Trailer Target Analysis
This document summarizes a student's work on recreating a horror trailer for "The Blair Witch Project" within a week for a class task. The student chose this film because it could be realistically recreated within the school without specialized equipment. Several shots were filmed around the school to match the original trailer, while adjusting some props as needed. Feedback noted that sound design, voice acting, lighting, and typography could be improved to better match the original trailer.
Editor’s journal/ Sound Journal
The editor's role is to rearrange footage to create sequences for the film. The document discusses the editor's work on their own film, where they used Audacity to add sound effects and Adobe Premiere Pro to place them in the timeline. Finding sound effects that matched the scenes, like a biting sound for a mouse eating the moon, was challenging. The editor created a first draft and then identified places needing more sound. They spent up to 3 hours a day from Monday to Thursday editing the first draft, and up to 2 hours on Friday and Sunday finalizing the version.
Problems, issues and successes
The filming had some initial problems. When filming at night, they only had a small torch for lighting, making shots dark. Some shots from the camera were wobbly. When filming in a car, it had to be slowed down during playback to make the dialogue audible, making the shot look crude. On reshoots, the lighting and acting were improved.
Homework 1 – conventions
The document discusses how the author is using conventions fitting for the action genre in their trailer. Specifically, it mentions using fast-paced editing and music, amplified sounds during action scenes, themes of espionage/spies, close-up and angled camerawork, characters like spies, and settings that show importance or danger. All of these techniques are commonly used in action films to create tension and engage audiences.
Presentation1 and one again
The document discusses different aspects of film editing that the author learned about through a school film project. It covers editing with iMovie and choosing appropriate transitions to match the genre. It also discusses using different camera shots like long shots, close ups, and panning to achieve their grade. Finally, it talks about using a free music site to add non-copyright music that fit the genre and included both a scary theme and diegetic happy song.
Further editing
1) The document discusses editing techniques used in a 2-minute title sequence for a thriller film. Ellipsis and continuity editing were used to omit unnecessary elements and create a continuous flow between shots.
2) Shots were sped up to add urgency and pace, and fades were used between location changes. Black screens with diegetic sounds were inserted to let the audience use their imagination.
3) Match cuts and camera focus techniques were employed to smoothly transition between shots of a van and set up a video camera scene. Thin white titles on black screens were chosen to not distract from the thriller atmosphere.
Question 6
The document discusses various technologies used in constructing a video project, including a high-definition camera that captured better quality pictures and allowed adjusting settings, a microphone with a boom stick plugged into the camera to record audio, and Adobe Premiere Pro to edit shots, adjust audio levels, add transitions, and export the final video to YouTube.
News Program Evaluation
James Buckmaster evaluates the visuals, audio, graphics, transitions, and overall effectiveness of his news program. He awards himself a merit level for having varied, high quality shots throughout the video. His audio is also clear with balanced volume, though it is not perfectly balanced when switching between speakers. While his simple logo and intro are effective, he notes they could be more sophisticated. The transitions help pace the video appropriately and cut between clips suitably. Overall, the program achieved its goal of prioritizing quality over quantity through its short, focused format and mix of high quality clips.
Camera shots and sound
This document defines and provides examples of different types of camera shots including steady cam, tracking, zoom, crane, and pan shots. It also defines trombone shots. Additionally, it defines different types of sounds that can be used in films including diegetic, non-diegetic, crescendo, diminuendo, and sforzando sounds. Examples are provided of films that effectively use crane shots and trombone shots.
Analysis 2
The trailer uses various film techniques to build tension and scare the audience. Low key lighting creates a dark, scary atmosphere. Strange sounds from a baby monitor build unease. Fast editing during panic scenes heightens tension. A rocking horse rocking on its own and a boy's fall, emphasized with repetition, foreshadow disturbing events. Camerawork like close-ups and high angles provide clues while a handheld shot at the end adds confusion. These techniques establish an unsettling tone and intrigue viewers about the horror to come.
Technologies
To edit their film opening, the document's author used iMovie on a Mac to add professional touches like transitions, titles, sound effects, and editing cuts and copies. They faded between shots to make the film smoother and sped up or slowed down clips as needed. Titles were added throughout using the Mac's features and fonts that fit the thriller theme. Sound was able to be turned off when unwanted. Music was also added, though it had to be copyright-free. The Mac occasionally had issues like slowing editing, and effects sometimes took away from shots, but the author learned to work around its quirks.
Filming session 1-2
The document summarizes two filming sessions for a short film called "The Apprentice". In the first session, the filmmakers captured an over-the-shoulder, high angle shot of three actors discussing their mission. They used a tripod-mounted camera to get the shot. They note that the classroom location was not ideal and they will change locations for the next draft. In the second session, they captured an establishing panoramic shot of a new outdoor location and a close-up, high angle shot of fake blood and an actor laying on the ground pretending to be dead. They discuss improvements that could be made in editing to make the blood more visible.
"Case 472" Crime
Shakur Blackman, a 16-year-old boy who was 6 feet tall and weighed 89 kg, died from stab wounds. The case file provided key identifying information and the cause of death for a young man named Shakur Blackman.

Fast and furious 7 opening final 1
The opening sequence of Fast and Furious 7 establishes the power dynamic between two brothers. In a hospital room in London, the older brother speaks down to the younger brother in a weak state, foreshadowing his fate. The sequence then cuts to the older brother leaving the hospital and transitioning to a new character in a different country. This parallel editing connects the two characters and hints at a future battle between them.
Location post
The document discusses potential filming locations for an opening sequence in London. It proposes shooting at London Bridge to capture panoramic views of the city and famous landmarks. It also suggests filming at the London Eye gardens to get tracking shots of characters walking past the iconic London Eye. Additionally, shooting outside the Houses of Parliament would provide context about the type of apprenticeship the characters are involved in.
Question 1
The document discusses several conventions that are commonly used in thriller films and how they are employed or challenged in the author's opening sequence. It addresses conventions like setting stories in cities, including protagonists that solve mysteries, using low-key lighting, incorporating costumes to identify good or bad characters, and maintaining an element of mystery. The summary then analyzes how the author's sequence specifically conforms to conventions like slow pacing, using title sequences and ident, and close-ups to convey emotion, or challenges conventions through omitting an establishing shot and choosing to hide the location. Mise-en-scene elements are also discussed.
Filming Session #1
The document summarizes the filming of the first session for a scene from "The Apprentice". It describes capturing over the shoulder and high angle shots of three main actors discussing their mission. A camera on a tripod provided elevation to get the desired shots. Changing the mise-en-scene location from a classroom to a darker room with chiaroscuro lighting would make the scene feel more like a business office and thriller genre, appealing more to older adult audiences.
Filming Session #2
1) The first scene was filmed at a local recreation ground to establish the location where the murder occurred. A panoramic shot was captured with the camera on a tripod to introduce the empty location to the audience.
2) A close-up, high angle shot was taken of fake prop blood poured on the grass where the actor laid as if dead. Both a close up of the blood and actor were filmed to clearly portray the scene to viewers.
3) When editing, the blood will be highlighted with increased color, contrast and saturation to make it stand out more and seem important. Improvements could include showing blood on the actor's face or incorporating a prop weapon to make the death seem more belie
Animatic results
The document summarizes the results of an animatic review for a film project. It found that the majority of reviewers were in the target age group. Half correctly identified the genre as thriller, while others thought action or horror. Over 80% understood the sequence from the animatic despite limitations. Forty percent said they would enjoy watching the full opening scene, while only 20% said no.
Editing Session #1
The document discusses three screenshots from the editing of a film project. Screenshot 1 shows opening titles being edited for professionalism and meaning. Screenshot 2 demonstrates tracking shots of the main characters and editing of soundtracks to set a sad mood. Screenshot 3 reveals the location of Big Ben in London to signify an important viewpoint. Overall, the first editing session went well, using transitions, audio effects, and shots of landmarks to develop the opening sequence and story.
Initial ideas
The document outlines three initial film ideas for a group project. The first idea involves three teenage apprentice detectives investigating an unsolved cold case in an abandoned park. The second centers around a boy who has premonitions of his friend's death and tries to prevent them. The third examines how an innocent person can be corrupted by drugs and have their life unravel from a single use.
Shooting schedule for ancillary
This document lists the details of two photo shoots including the dates, times, crew members, and equipment used. On 12/12/16 the crew of 4 photographers used a DSLR camera, Polaroid camera, and Polaroid photos and props like bath bombs and flowers. On 16/12/16 the same 4 crew members used a DSLR, tripod, and phone for their shoot.
Director's study 2
Hannah Lux Davis is an American music video director known for working with artists like Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj. She draws visual inspiration from pictures and cites Bang Bang by Jessie J, Ariana Grande, and Nicki Minaj as one of her biggest projects so far. The document then provides examples of camerawork, mise-en-scene, and editing techniques used in three music videos: Meghan Trainor's "Me Too", MKTO's "Bad Girls", and Jessie J's "Burning Up".
Thriller conventions updated
Thriller films typically follow several conventions: they are set in busy urban areas; focus on investigations and puzzles that the protagonist solves, often involving violence; and feature rational explanations over supernatural ones. The protagonist and antagonist usually have similar qualities and one brings justice while the other brings injustice. The film builds suspense throughout until reaching a climax, and the protagonist ultimately solves the mystery.
Target audience analysis
The document discusses the results of a survey conducted to determine the target audience for a thriller film opening sequence. The target audience is primarily 16-year-olds who prefer thrillers with action, mystery, horror and crime genres. They also prefer male protagonists and settings in woods or cities at nighttime. Respondents want normal or dark clothing, dramatic music, and for the opening to include surprises like plot twists or jump scares.
Target audience updated
The document discusses the target audience and key elements for an upcoming thriller movie. The target audience is males and females aged 16 to 25, as this demographic enjoys fast-paced editing, graphic effects, action, fights, and being held in suspense. Some techniques that will be used to appeal to this audience include parallel editing to build suspense between two storylines, a variety of shots and camera movements to keep the action on display, and changes in lighting and sound effects to maintain interest. An agonist and antagonist will also provide contrasting perspectives.
Target audience research complete
This document summarizes research conducted with a target audience for a horror film opening sequence. The research found that jump scares, suspense, and loud noises are most effective at engaging audiences. Additionally, audiences preferred slasher and horror-comedy films over supernatural films. Based on this, the group decided to incorporate jump scares, action, and some comedic elements into their opening sequence to appeal to target viewers. Location and character preferences were also gathered to further tailor the sequence.
Animatic feedback
The animatic received positive feedback from audiences, indicating the filmmakers are on track with their goal of creating an engaging slasher/horror opening sequence. While the animatic skills are lacking, the team excels at storytelling and their intricate plot and use of mise-en-scene, camerawork, and editing make the storyline easy to follow. Feedback showed everyone could understand what was happening in each scene as the camerawork and transitions worked well. The filmmakers will apply the lessons from this feedback to improve their skills and sequencing, adding more interesting sounds effects and effective fonts as suggested, to create a perfect opening sequence that fully engages audiences.

Editing session 1.1
- 1. Jamie King Alex Vernon Emily Mahmood Nathanial Wedderburn-Graham ‘THE APPRENTICE’ EDITING SESSIONS DRAFT #1 SESSION #1
- 3. ARRANGING FOOTAGE • To start with we had to import all of our filming from the SD card onto the desktop so we could import them into Premiere PRO. • Once we had then imported these into Premier PRO it was then the case of consulting our storyboards and ordering the clips to get the correct order. • This process involved chopping various clips as some of the clips ran over showing irrelevant parts of filming. We chopped these from the original footage and deleted them so we had the footage which we needed. • When it came to uploading we still had missing scenes which meant there were clear gaps in our first draft editing process. This caused us to halt on any transitions on scenes which had no following scene. This will slow our editing down until we have filmed the missing scenes. • What we will do next is film the missing scenes and upload them so we can fill in the gaps between scenes. This will then mean we will be able to add transitions and make sure the sequence flows.
- 5. TITLES • Now that we have our scenes in order we can now focus on adding the title sequence in the conventional order. • When it came to adding titles it was imperative we selected a font which will look good and work with our genre. The font which we decided to chose was Courier. This gave the sequence bold writing and worked with our genre. The font looks enticing as it bold but yet looks mysterious. • To improve upon our current titles we will be changing the font colour from black to white as well as the positioning. The black font can make it hard to read where as white will be easier to read. • The current positioning is too far too the edge, we will move the titles slightly away from the border but not obstructing any important footage. We shall place this in areas where there is nothing important on the screen.
- 7. ADDING AND CHOPPING SOUNDTRACKS • The final stage of this editing session was importing our soundtracks and then chopping them to the right length. • We imported our soundtrack from YouTube but found it was too long for our sequence. This meant that we had to chop the soundtrack but we had to review the soundtrack to make sure we used the bust part of the soundtrack which will add tension to our scene. • We also had to lower the volume of some parts of the soundtrack when there was dialogue in the scene. We had to make sure that the quieting of the volume sounded natural and was gradual. • There was some dispute over the soundtrack which we used as some found that it wasn't adding enough tension. For the next editing session we will be reviewing other soundtracks which may be better than the original one.
- 8. Jamie King Alex Vernon Emily Mahmood Nathanial Wedderburn-Graham ‘THE APPRENTICE’ EDITING SESSIONS DRAFT #1 SESSION #2
- 10. CHANGING THE SPEED OF THE CLIP • In this clip, we edited the clip to slow down the speed of the to turn it into a slow motion clip. • When we took the shots in this scene we found it went by too quickly so it didn't’t bring anything in terms of emotion to our sequence. • By making the shot go in slow motion it added tension to the scene. This made every movement in the shot feel significant
