Early Editing  In the present day, editing in film has various purposes: it aids in the telling of a storey, it creates a mood or atmosphere, and it contributes to the overall success of a film or video. Short films used to be one lengthy, static shot in the beginning. Early filmmakers were afraid of combining multiple shots of different items taken from different perspectives and locations because they feared it would confuse an audience. In the early 1900s, the first films with some type of editing were made. Edwin S. Porter's film "The Great Train Robbery," which he wrote, directed, and produced, is a significant milestone in editing technique. Griffiths, Eisenstein, and Kuleshov are among the most well-known film experimenters. D. W. Griffiths is regarded as the founder of narrative cinema; he pioneered techniques such as parallel editing, which allowed him to push his films to new heights of intricacy. Griffith's films were highly valued by Soviet directors such ...

 Evidence of edited productions Logging footage efficiently  when creating videos i put all of my clips needed in folders to make sure im organised  Justifying editing choices Music video contextual studies  evidence of labelling clips and audio

I feel I have been able to gain a range of practical skills during this year, which will assist me when I work in a professional atmosphere. I have been able to provide evidence of communication with my clients, completion of health and safety protocols, setting up lighting and camera equipment to a client-acceptable standard, completion of promotional work to a client-acceptable standard, completion of all pre-production and idea generating work to a client-acceptable standard, and I have also justified my design methods across all platforms. Communicating with a client  When I complete units that include the completion of work for a customer, I took care of the unit as if I were in a professional setting. whether i was successful at this is up for debate as some things i did well and some things didn't do too well. for example, i was able to provide my client my clear vision and schedule of what I wanted to create whilst showing the procedures i will have to take to make things p...

Efficiency: If I'm being honest, my efficiency during the start of the course was very poor. i was not leaving enough time to complete tasks and what needed to be done was all over the place. This was a standard i did not find acceptable, to stop this from happening in future modules i would create Gantt charts to allow me to be on top of thing within my projects. However, with this in my mind i still believe i was quite poor when it came around the end i was i will end up be more efficient with my planning instead of editing which ultimately to more problems. This change drastically when it came  down to the music video module as this is the only module that i don't feel as if it was rushed./ other than this i only finished to modules on time. Organisation: My organisation was poor as i believe that if i was more organised i could have produced more work for my modules a better standard, my organisation of clips and footage was kept on a hard drive with different folders for d...

  Kanye West's music video demonstrates the general codes and conventions of a standardised rap music video, for example he wears expensive jewellery and visuals of fast cars and women to be gazed upon. Something that Kanye West is no secret too, however this music video happens to have many intertextual references to the 1988 film Akira. This can be seen in the visuals of him being scanned by some sort of machine which is also seen in the film Akira. The video also has direct links to the lyrics. This can be seen where the song plays the sample of the "harder better faster"  by Daft Punk by showing Daft Punk within the video. Another example of this is where Kanye West says "i know god put you in front of me" and he looks directly at the female interest in the video. The song has a futuristic feel which may be the reason which may be the reason why he chose to include the intertextual references of Akira. Although i believe Kanye had a lot of says in the video,...

Planning the planning stage of my work I believe happened to go very well. I started off by analysing music videos that I felt inspired by whilst simultaneously reading upon the theories of Andrew Goodwin and carol Vernalis to then link them to said videos. The things I analyse were the codes and conventions of these genres and the reasons why things were done in the video. For example, I explained why asap rocky used certain editing techniques to represents his experience with drugs and so forth. Moving forth from this point I created a questionnaire to help influence the video I wanted to make. This questionnaire helped the video to some degree. Admittedly I believe I could have asked better questions but the questions I asked still helped the video. An example of a question helping was the question of where I asked people what they enjoyed about music videos and what they enjoyed about the last music video that they watched. This me streamline the shots that I wanted with my client ...
