Easy rider response

 

Easy rider response 


Within this scene, a variety of different techniques that range from editorial techniques to audio techniques is used to convey the emotion of boredom and portray the image of what substance potentially abuse feels like for the audience. The scene begins with a still eye-level shot with diegetic sound, which potentially could be some construction, of 4 adults who appear to be spending there day within a cemetery. From the moment this scene opens, the body language that these actors portray implies that they have reached a dead-end within their lives; I would go as far as to say that they appear to be going through some sort of existential crisis. What drives this point even further is the lack of movement from the camera and sound with the addition of the restlessness of the characters sitting down as if they are longing for something to happen within their lives. these two points alone allow the audience to quickly grasp an idea of what these characters are going through without the characters saying a single word. However, the way that these characters appear to be dressed allows us to Imply that they could be hippies that just spend their time doing nothing. This would not be too unexpected as this film did release within the 60s where hippies were most apparent. As this scene progresses, the editorial techniques become increasingly intense. The 4 adults indulge in the use of acid/LSD to past the time. In comparison to the characters being sober to tripping, the editing techniques show what is happening very clearly. As they indulge within acid, quick, fast-paced gradually come noticeable.

Research Into The Development of Editing

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 ...

Evaluation of Development of Practical Skills Across Course

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...

Evaluation of Editing Development Across Course

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...
