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 different pieces of work to allow me to take these clips on the go. I don't think its necessary naming individual clips, however i did delete clips out of the hard drive once they've been used to a certain amount. i would often refer back to the mark scheme as a checklist to see what needs to be done and what I've done already, which allowed me to be quite organised in itself. In addition, i wish i discovered more organisational tactics for my work to allow my work to be more strong

Planning :

During my planning process, i used storyboards to plan and to refer to later for when i would eventually move on to the editing process of my modules. This was very effective as it helped me keep a clear viewpoint for what needed to be done in my editing. i did a lot of research on media that's in the same vain to direct me in the proper direction. An example of this would be my analysis of the code and conventions of different promotional videos to aid my promotional video, whilst also gaining inspiration to make a promotional video of my own.


Editing Abilities:


My editing as a whole improved exponentially as the course progressed. if I'm being honest my editing as a whole was already at a decent level however I feel as if I've become more aware of how to use editing as a tool to convey emotions and things in the same vein.  this can be clearly be seen in the music video I created where in certain parts of the video quick jump cuts are used to convey the in your face nature of the video. I developed different techniques and skills that I can call my own stylistic techniques that can be seen in future videos that I produce. 

Overall:

overall as i progressed i believe my editing skills have been the one aspect of my creative arsenal that has improved the most compared to the others. my editing has seen growth if you were to compare how it was at the start of the course. i learned new techniques and developed ones i already have. for example in my music video, the use of montages in the video allowed the video to be more effective for an audience and convey the music video properly and efficiently. however my planning and efficiency had cracks in it which i believe only improved slightly. i still believe that i can do things to improve it in the future like be on top of things and not allow things to fall behind in schedule. a way to improve i belive will be keeping a diary of things i need to do and sometimes doing things before they even need to be done to allow more room for improvement to be had. my organisation skills was also poor. i did things such as keep things in hardrives so I'm able to keep things with me on the go and do things when I'm out however i believe there's still roo for improvement once again. if i was to go back and the course again the things i would differently will be; be more diligent with more work and make sure stuff is done when is needed to be done and not wait till last minute to complete said things

Music Video Analysis - Kendrick Lamar - Alright

  Analysis of song  Analysis of video Kendrick Lamar depicts the tale of the harsh reality that bear upon black people within many parts of America. To themes of black struggle and love and to what feels like a never ending with the police, these are the many themes that is used within alright video.  Introduction Within the beginning of the video, Lamar uses the establishing shot of the Oakland-Bay bridge as a framework for the subsequent visuals and messages — entirely in monochrome to contrast “black” and “white” — and messages; he also uses the establishing shot as a microcosm for American society as we explore the meaning of what it is to be black in America — contextualized by Lamar's narrative — and how he copes with his racial identity. For the next minute and a half, images of an apocalyptic Oakland are shown to the viewer in a way that suggests the end is near — a belief that Kendrick Lamar completely shares. Among these images is one of three people standing a...

Analysing genre specific editing techniques

Individual approaches and styles are used to show different genres of cinema during editing. The way these genres are edited changes the way we think about the tale and our emotions shift as a result of the strategies utilised; it catches and draws the audience in. Fast-paced editing is frequently employed in horror films. This is done to create suspense and make the audience nervous and anxious about what will happen next. They're anticipating being astonished or scared by the next quick-cut shot. The most typical shot in these types of films is a low shot. In the shots of chosen characters, low shots evoke anxiety. They intimidate people, exude authority, and believe they are superior to the other characters in the picture. In horror films, the use of high shots and close-up shots denotes vulnerability, usually in the victims. 'One Missed Call' is an example of a film that effectively employs these strategies. The victims are plagued by inexplicable phone calls in which t...

Analysing Promotional Video - Meet iPhone 12

Analysing Promotional Video - Meet iPhone 12  Context within apple commercials, the main focus within them are to promote and sell their products to the audience and do this by showing their products in various aspects of life. In this iPhone 12 advert this is exactly what has been done here. As you cans see within the advert, the phone is being used in different day-to-day scenarios that are relatable to an audience. For example, to show the speed of the phone the footage of real life is slowed and the phone speed is normal to show in a hyperbolic way that the phone is faster than life. Such hyperbolic creative shots like this is what makes the advert memorable to an audience. This is something i want to incorporate into my work  as this is a very efficient way to market a product.  Sound Non-Diegetic:   An upbeat soundtrack can be heard to match the pacing of the video. This can also be in relation to the speed of the phone. a gust of wind can be heard when the pho...
