The document discusses techniques used in postmodern films to make audiences aware that they are watching a constructed film. This includes anti-narratives using techniques like freeze frames and non-diegetic narration, as well as meta-referencing seen in Wayne's World where characters directly address the camera. It then describes a student film project planning to use time remapping in editing to alter the duration of scenes and apply slow motion, including a character acknowledging the camera and a parody of Indiana Jones.

1. Film and Editing Task
TIME REMAPPING

2. Post Modern films use a variety of techniques which breaks conventions of generic
Hollywood films, the purpose of this is to make audiences aware that they are
watching a film which has been constructed.
This includes techniques such as Anti-Narratives- This is used in the BBC series
Hussle, where the producers include the use of Freeze Frame and non diegetic
narration to make the audience aware of the ‘con-men’s thought process.
Another technique is Meta-Referencing which is used in the film Wayne’s World to
parody this theory as throughout the film Wayne and Garth talk to the camera,
however when another character attempts to communicate to the camera Wayne
interrupts with “Hey man, only me and Garth get to talk to the camera!” providing the
audience with both an awareness that they are watching a constructed film, yet also a
comedic view on the technique.
TIME REMAPPING

3. Prior to the filming we planned out what we would film and what techniques
we would use for them. This includes a cartwheel which we would then
proceed to edit the duration and use slow motion, a scene where the character
acknowledges that they're being filmed and starts talking directly to the
camera, and lastly a parody of Indiana Jones where instead of running out of
a door and returning for his hat, the parody includes a student coming back to
collect his bag.
FILMING

4. Time Remapping- Firstly we opened Premier and created two key frames
where we wanted to construct the times between, then added a Speed Ramp
to make the timing appear more natural. We did this by selecting the frame we
wanted, and then when the handlebar appeared we dragged it either sides.
This then forms a Bezier curve in the timeline which allows the scene to play
more organically and slow-fast motion instantly.
This is the finished product that we uploaded to YouTube.
