3. Purpose of Editing
Question Response
What is the
purpose of
editing?
The purpose of editing is to put together the entire film from the
footage that has been gathered.
What is the role
of editors within
a production
team?
The role of editors is to edit a film together, they are skilled in
working with specialised software that allows them to combine
various elements together to create the film. they work closely with
the director, sound department and other main influences in order
to ensure that the film comes out the way that it is supposed to.
It is the editor that puts everything together after filming is
complete.
How can editing
be used to tell a
story? Why are
shots selected
and placed next
to each other in
the edit to
Editing can be used to tell a story as it allows the editor to
decide what to keep in the final production and what to remove
from it. Editing means that you can cut specific shot and place
them next to each other in order to portray a sequence of events
and tell a story.

4. Editing Techniques
Technique Definition Example
Motivated
cut.
A cut that is motivated by a audio
or visual clue.
Hearing a phone ring in one scene and
then cutting to a close up of the
phone ringing in the next.
Montage. A selection of related clips put
together to make a sequence.
The montage of Rocky training in
Rocky.
Jump cut. A cut made that fails to follow the
30° rule.
The opening scene in the city of god.
Continuity
editing.
Editing that isn’t obviously
noticeable and isn’t intrusive.
The Avengers.

5. Editing Techniques
Technique Definition Example
Breaking the
180 Degree
rule
Having two consecutive shots of
the same subject that are more
than 180° angle apart
The bathroom scene from the shining,
where character A and B seem to
switch places on either side of the
frame.
Cross
cutting.
Cutting between two scenes that
take place at the same time.
The phone call scene from scary movie,
where characters are on a phone call
with each other whilst in separate
places.
Timing and
pace (fast
and slow
cutting).
Fast cutting is where several shots
are cut together in a short amount
of time and slow cutting is where
individual shots last longer.
Slow cutting- Kingsman church scene
Fast cutting- Captain America vs Iron
Man fight scene
Sound mix. Editing the sounds and audio. The Avengers.

Horror IT
Openin
g
Scene
• The opening scene of IT uses a wide
angle moving shot, cutting between fast
paced wide angle shots of Georgie
running down the road and close up
shots of the boat that he is chasing,
showing us what he wants. The editing
slows down its pace when Georgie
meets Pennywise, as the two speak the
180 degree rule is followed, cutting
between them. A high angle, shallow
focus shot is used to show Pennywise
in the sewer whilst a low angle shallow
focus is used when showing us
Georgie, before switching to a wider
angled shot from the side showing us
both characters before Georgie reaches
into the sewer to get his boat. The use
of angles suggests that Georgie is the
on in power and that Pennywise is the
The opening scene of IT starts of
fast but is mostly slow paced,
something prevalent throughout the
film with fast paced scenes
scattered in as well. It starts off
with the character Georgie but
uses him as a way to introduce
us to Pennywise, a largely more
important character to the movie. It
works well in doing this, using a
slow pace for the first interaction
of Pennywise and allowing us to
see his pretty much just his face,
before picking up the pace a bit
as he devours Georgie, giving us
a better glimpse into what
Pennywise actually is.

Drama War Dogs, the
Fallujah scene
• The Fallujah scene in war dogs is an
intense, showing our characters in a
life or death situation. We start off by
seeing some cross cutting between
David in Fallujah and Iz back at
home as they are on a phone call
with each other. The cross cutting
shows us how they are interacting
with each other whilst being on
opposite sides of the world. The
phone call is cut short when our
characters are attacked and start to
flee. In the fleeing sequence we can
see the use of fast cut close-up
shots on our characters faces,
allowing us to see how intense the
situation is for them, and also wider
shots of the chasers behind them,
showing us the immanent danger that
they are in. we also see as they

Action Red Notice,
not a cop
scene
• The not a cop scene in red
notice sees our characters put
together in a Russian prison. It
starts with a quick cut conversation
between the two followed by Booth
getting up to make an
announcement to the whole prison
about John not being a cop, but
rather being an FBI agent. As
Booth stands up to make his
announcement we see a wide
angle shot of the room around
him, showing the sheer number of
people in the room and the fact
that they are all now paying
attention to him. All these people
represent a potential danger for
John. After making his
announcement we see a tracking
shot from down low and in front
of a large man as he gets up
The not a cop scene in red
notice shows a sort of bitter
relationship between our
characters as Booth takes a
petty stance towards the
situation by making his
announcement, however this
also puts him in a power
position over John.

Genre Example Analysis Evaluation
Surreal Jan Švankmajer -
Lunch (Food
1992).
The film is made using a
combination of a really slow
frame rate which makes it look
as though it is stuttering
throughout as well as stop
motion which comes into play
whenever something is going into
a characters mouth that looks
unnatural, where the characters
head and face seem to expand
around the object. The film also
uses zooming in on these
scenes to show a focus on the
unnatural look of the characters.
The film is alright for the
genre that it belongs to,
surreal. It makes the
viewer question everything
that is going several
times over as it is not
very apparent what the
point of anything is, it
doesn’t make very much
sense.

14. Camera Techniques and Lens Use
Definition
Stock formats The types of film stock that films are shot onto.
Imagers An imager is a film stock printer.
Aspect ratios The ratio of the width to the length of the film.
Exposure index A measure of the amount of light the film or sensor is being exposed to.
Latitude The range between visible underexposure and overexposure.
Dynamic range The range between the purest whites and purest blacks in a shot.

15. Camera Techniques and Lens Use
Definition
Frames per second The number of pictures taken by the camera in a second.
Filters A lens addition used to achieve a different look.
Prime lens A lens with a fixed focal length.
Zoom lens A lens with an adjustable focal length.
Optics Optics refers to how the lens works.

16. Camera Techniques and Lens Use
Definition
F-stops F-stop refers to the lens aperture.
T-stops T-stop refers to the lens aperture, however it is more accurate than F-stop.
Focus The degree of sharpness on your subject.
Depth of field The distance between the nearest and furthest objects in focus.
Hyper-focal distance The ideal focal point used in a shot.

17. Film vs Digital
Film Digital
Film cameras use film stock to capture real image
taken from the lens.
Film costs a lot more.
Using film is more complicated as it has to be
developed from negatives before you can watch what
has been recorded.
Film can be ruined through the developing process,
making it more fragile to use.
Reshooting with film requires the use of more film.
film has richer colours and a more organic look and
feel to it.
Digital cameras convert light captured on a sensor into
digital data which can be seen as an image.
Digital cameras cost less to use.
Digital cameras are lighter and generally easier to use.
Digital cameras can have significantly higher frame
rates.
You can view what you have recorded immediately
after recording it.
Digital cameras allow for easy transfer of recorded
material.
Differences between film and digital

18. Film vs Digital
Which one is better and why?
Digital is better. Digital is easier to use and allows for more post production to be done
to what you have recorded. Digital also offers more capability when filming and is less
costly to use and has fewer secondary costs than film.

19. TASK 3
With SL

20. Director
• Directors need to be able to mediate the creative differences on set to make sure
what's being made is the best outcome.
• The director works closely with the producer and scriptwriter. As the producer
needs to give notes on production and the screenwriter give notes on the script.
• The film's director is responsible for visualising the script or screenplay, whilst
guiding the film crew and actors to fulfil the vision.
• Some directors often write their own screenplays and direct them. This
is because they know what they are trying to visualize and therefore there is
no room for anything to be lost in translation from script to screen.
• Christopher Nolan is a well-known director who now owns his own production
company. His movies are known for their large practical effects and often stories
that make you think.
• I believe directors are possibly

21. Camera Operator
• Camera operators need to know how to get the desired shot and
require a steady hand to do so. They also have to be knowledgeable
about different shooting styles and techniques and know how to use
and operate the camera.
• Camera operators work on set and primarily work with directors and
assistants, who direct them on what shot to get, and
cinematographers who set everything up to get the shot.
• The camera operators responsibility is to get the shot that director
wants.
• Rodrigo Prieto was one of five camera operators on the set of The
Wolf of Wall Street. He was responsible for ensuring that they got the
right shots they needed for the film when in control of the camera.
• I think camera operators play one of the most important roles on the
film set and it is a role that I take a liking towards.

22. 1st Assistant Director/
2nd Assistant Director
• Assistant directors are there to help the directors, they need to be able to
think fast and work fast. They cater to the creative needs of the director
who delegates to them to ensure everything runs smoothly.
• Assistant directors work primarily with the director of the film.
• The responsibility of assistant directors on set is to aid the director in
whatever way they need in order to ensure the director isn’t overloaded.
• Chris Carreras was the first assistant director on the set of Dune and
worked closely with Dennis Villneuve, the director of the film.
• I Think that assistant directors play a key a role in ensuring that the director
is able to do their work, however I don’t think it is a job I would like to do.

23. Key Grip
• the key grip has to be knowledgeable about camera equipment and be able
to handle the logistics that come with being in charge of it. They have to be
able to make decision about what kind of gear to use for the filming.
• The key grip works with the whole crew as the decide what equipment is
being used for the shot, they also work very closely with the director as
what the director want can influence was is selected by the key grip.
• Ron Cardarelli was a key grip on the set of Jurassic park. He was in charge
of ensuring the right equipment was used I filming.
• A key grip is a very important role as they have a lot of influence on what is
used to make the film, which can drastically change the outcome. It is a
role that would be interesting to be in

24. Working as a Director
• Being a director is an interesting role, it allows me to visualise what I
want to see and bring the image in my head to life. Being a director is
enjoyable as it allows for a lot of creative freedom, however it also
comes with a sense of stress as for the most part, you have the
largest influence over everything and your decision is the final one.
Being director allows you to delegate and come up with ideas for
creative shots that the rest of the crew has achieve. I found the role
to be entertaining and enjoyed, I think I could do good at it.

25. Working as a Camera Op
• Camera operator is an interesting role to have, it requires a steady
hand and comes with the stress of ensuring you get the perfect shot
as you are the one responsible for it. Working as camera operator
allows you to gain more knowledge about the cameras in use and
outs right in front of whatever is being shot. I enjoy the role as it
makes you feel like the creator, you’re the person actually filming the
shot. Being a camera operator can also be difficult as it can be
repetitive and tedious when doing reshoots in order to get the
perfect shot.

26. Working as
Assistant Director
• Working as assistant director isn’t something I enjoy very much. As
assistant director I have to listen to what the director tells me to do
and aid in various parts of the production, helping out the director
with creative aid and doing whatever else is expected from tehm.

27. Working as Key Grip
• Working as key grip is an enjoyable role for me, it allows me to be
hands on with the equipment ad make decisions about what needs to
be used in the filming. Being key grip means you work with the
director, the director tells me what kind of shot they're going for and I
help them put it together from a technical perspective.

28. Cameras used
• In my production I opted to use a Blackmagic 6k Pocket Cinema
camera. The reason I chose this is because it allowed for filming in 4K
resolution, allowed me to fit a monitor and grip accessories onto it
through the use of a cage and had many software benefits such as the
use of focus detection. I set the camera up to shoot in 24 frames per
second at a 4K resolution.
• I also opted to use a GoPro hero 7 Black in my production as it
allowed me to shoot 4K resolution footage at 120 frames per second,
which I could use to create slow-motion shots that I otherwise
couldn’t with the Black Magic which tops out at 50 frames per
second.

29. Lens choice
• For my production I opted to use 2 different lenses. On the Black
Magic I used an 18-55mm lens which was adjusted between shots.
This allowed for good detail and all round usability. I also opted to use
a fixed 24mm lens on the GoPro to get close up shots when required.

30. Grips
• For filming I opted to use a three point standing tripod which was
connected to the Black Magic camera through the use of a cage. The
cage rig allowed me to also attach a monitor to the camera to be able
to view shots in real time that I otherwise wouldn’t have been able
to. The cage rig also allowed me to fit a grip onto the top of the
camera which allowed me to have a steadier hand on it when
shooting tracking shots.

31. Lighting
• For my film I used a combination of both natural and artificial lighting.
I used artificial lighting in the fridge shot of the film in order to light
up the scene when the fridge is opened, showing our subject in the
scene. For the rest of the production I opted to use natural light in
order to have a natural and untouched feel to the highlights and
shadows of the film.

32. PLANNING

33. Copyright
-I will be using paid-for royalty free audio in my film that is sourced from epidemic sound.
Procedural Codes
-If any medical issues were to arise while shooting a plan will be in place to be able to deal with it.
Privacy and Intrusion
-I’m filming in a private location with permission with a laid out set.
Health and safety
-Health matters on the film shouldn’t be an issue as there aren’t any particularly dangerous things happening.
The most dangerous scene in the film would be the knife chop, as for this scene I have to both use the knife
and also control the doughnut, one in each hand, however through practice I can ensure it does safely. Falling
and tripping hazards may arise with having to set up the scene and remove things from the location, however
in an attempt to avoid this I will be stacking everything that is not in use in a single place away from where the
filming will be happening.

34. Concept
-Chest shot of person and the surrounding areas on the walk to main setting, 3 or 4 scenes, 5 seconds each.
the next scene is the person putting the doughnut, which is in a packet, on the counter. He then proceeds to
take a drink out of the fridge and put it on the opposite counter. We then see the doughnut climbing out of its
packet and standing up, it then looks down and realizes it has a hole in it, it’s just woken up. It decides to look
for a way to plug the hole, making binoculars with its hands to survey the surroundings, cut to a POV macro
shot that looks around at the area a bit and then spots the hand of the person on the other side of the kitchen,
zoom in, as the hand is opening the bottled drink and then moving away, leaving behind the cap as it falls, slow
motion of the cap landing on the counter. The shot zooms out and moves back through the hole of the
doughnut, emphasizing his purpose. The doughnut starts to make his way to the other side of the kitchen,
encountering obstacles along his way before he is stopped at the heated stove. The doughnut uses string or
something similar and a paper clip from a stack of documents nearby to make a grappling hook which he uses
to get across the room. “Parkour, parkour”. He makes it to the other side as the hook slips, and he almost falls
to the floor. Slow motion speed ramp of the hook slipping and slow motion of the doughnut falling and
catching itself, 3 different shots. The doughnut gets up on the counter and picks up the bottle cap, he pops into
the hole and uses it has a plug, he is filled with joy. He lets off a sigh of relief, when a sudden hand swoops
down and grabs him, as the drink cap falls from its place, slow motion macro drink cap hitting the counter,
again. the next shot is the chest of the person with their arms in frame as they eat the doughnut, screaming in
horror. we watch as crumbs fall and the credits roll.

35. Evaluation
-Some of the strengths of the film include it having only one actor appearing for minimally compared to the
main character doughnut. Having the main character of the film being played by an inanimate object also gets
rid of any weakness brought on with an actor as it allows precise control over the movements and actions of
the character whilst filming takes place. The film will be predominately shot in a single area of a kitchen which
gets rid of any travel continuity issues that we might have, were we switching locations frequently. The film
should also be very practical to make, as it would mostly consist of stand-alone shots as our doughnut traverses
the landscape. There may be issues on set of the doughnut getting damaged whilst shooting some of the
practical stunts with the doughnut (e.g., parkour swing across the room) In order to avoid this, we will have
more than one doughnut to play the part of the main character. There will also be some postproduction effects
added in After Effects. There aren’t any potential areas for offense, so this is something not to worry about. In
total there is only 1 actor playing the unnamed chest, several doughnuts playing the main doughnut and 1
location in a private home that will be signed off on a release form.

58. Justification of Organisation and Software
Choice Why
File formats Pproj
Aep
PPROJ is what premiere pro projects are saved as and
AEP is what after effects projects are saved as.
File storage PC and OneDrive Stored on PC to easily work from and stored on OneDrive
in case there is an issue and I need to recover footage.
Backup OneDrive It is cloud based and secure.
Software selection Adobe Premiere Pro
After Effects
Premiere pro is the industry standard and is what I tend
to use to edit, after effects is good for animating and
adding graphics which I will need.
Proxy media N/A Proxy is a lower quality place holder version of your footage that you would swap out later.
Clip management Folders and Shot Naming I use a main folder with sub folders for footage, audio, images and a workspace. Each sub
folder is dedicated to a different media aspect of the film.
Resolution matching N/A I am shooting on the same camera for the whole project therefore there will not be differing
resolutions to match.
Syncing N/A I will not be using any recorded audio from the camera and will rather be doing post-
production audio and sound effects as there is no dialogue.
Pipeline Rough cut, Fine cut then
Final cut
A rough cut is an edited timeline of footage in order, a fine cut is trimmed and edited footage in
sequence and a final cut is the final edit with all visual and audio effects that need to be done.
Specific encoding H.264 4K H.264 is a high quality format with decent compression so that the final isn’t too large.

60. Rushes Feedback
Feedback Areas for Development
What was your favourite thing about this
film?
What did you enjoy about the film?
Reference specific sequences, shots,
effects, overall feel/tone.
What would you suggest for the fine or final
cut? Try and relate this to specific content.
Consider specific edit techniques, special
effects, colour grading, etc etc.
I enjoyed the different camera angles that
you used e.g., the doughnut point of view.
Also the doughnuts performance was
incredible.
Previously mentioned I like the point of view
shot for the doughnut making it seem
lifelike to the audience. I also liked the shot
from inside of the fridge.
I think that some of the scenes drag on for
too long e.g., the cutting tomato scene but
that's something that can obviously be cut
down from the fine cut into the final cut.
Camera techniques
The film looks really good in terms of
visuals and the story is really enjoyable. I
love the shallow focus shots drawing
attention to one object and the panning shot
of the doughnut moving across the counter.
Looking forward to the final cut.
This is obvious but focus on the special
effects and making the doughnut appear
real. Remove the strings in post and that
will look great.
The script/story/content
I enjoyed the close up shot of the tomatoes
getting sliced and the donut floating around
the kitchen.
Some of the shots were a bit blurry and out
of focus. I would recommend either
removing them or reshooting them.
Camera techniques
Tomato shot was beautiful, all very playful
and wholesome... until the end. Which was
perfect!
Good sfx needed to keep immersion
otherwise will feel unprofessional

61. Evaluation of comments
• the main praise of the rush cut was the use of camera techniques and
various different angles, reviewers also had positive thoughts on the
overall look of the film, the tomato scene especially. The main
criticisms of the rush cut were the length of scenes, notably them
dragging on more than they need to. They also pointed out the need
for special effects in the final cut.

62. Areas for development
• At this point the main developments to be made would be shorting
scenes to make the film flow and adding audio for the fine cut.

Feedback Areas for Development
What was your favourite thing about

What did you enjoy about the film?
Reference specific sequences, shots,
effects, overall feel/tone.
What would you suggest for the fine or
final cut? Try and relate this to specific
content. Consider specific edit

Camera techniques
The film has a really good look and feel.
The story is really good.
Just some VFX changes (such as the
string removal) and it'll be perfect.
The performances
It was fun and now with better cuts the
story flows much better.
I think some sound effects may help. An
eating noise at the end maybe as it
feels unclear whats going on as you
can't see much.
Camera techniques
I like the overall story and the use of
POV shots to showcase that your
doughnut is alive.
So long as the wires aren't visible in the
final cut I think you'll have a great film.
Camera techniques
I like the music used. It feels very
French. I also like the eyes on the
donut
Turn up the brightness. It looks too dark
and silhouette like in some shots

65. Evaluation of comments
• The main praise of the film’s fine cut are the camera techniques that
have been used as well as the use of better cuts that work better to
tell the story. Critisisms for the film are mainly those of the lack of
special effects as well as the need to brighten some parts of the film
as they have been shot in low light and require post production
editing.

66. Areas for development
• At this point the main developments to be made would be removing
the wires from the film, adding the animated limbs onto our
doughnut and colour correcting the film. I also have room to further
develop the audio and add sound design to everything to make it
more intricate and thought out. There is also some space to play with
in shortening and possibly removing some scenes as well as adding
fitting visual effects and transitions.

67. TASK 11

68. Different Format Requirements
Evaluation of editing changes required to output to different formats
• Modern video streaming platforms such as Netflix and YouTube use a system that allows them to scale the
video viewer to the size of the film being viewed, meaning that there is no set requirement for the aspect
ratio nor for the resolution of the film.
• Most filmmakers still use a safe zone as reference to ensure that the subject stays in the centre of the
screen and is always visible.
• No editing is needed on my film in order to make it acceptable to be streamed on TV, this is because there is
no gore or swearing in it.

69. TASK 12

70. Evaluation
Topic Reflection
Setup of film shoot • The setup of the film shoot went according to plan with no issues arising. The
camera used was a Blackmagic 6K pocket Cinema camera mounted in a cage
allowing for the use of an external monitor as well. For lighting, natural lighting
was used.
Operation of the film • The filming of everything went according to plan. There was plenty of good
quality footage gathered that could be used in the final production. All
performances were on point and no issues arose on the day of production.
Output • The final edit of the film came out well for the most part. The animated legs
could probably have been made to look better with more time however due to
constrictions this wasn’t doable. They are good looking though so it isn’t a major
issue by any means.
What went well? • Everything went well and according to plan.
