When I did the preliminary task I was very new to the ida of editing so there was a lot of different
features that I used. It was the
first time that I tired editing so it
was on iMovie. Since then I have
personally purchased FinalCut
Pro for my personal editing
needs. As you can see below is a
screenshot of the preliminary task
named The Package.
I believe that I have learnt a large
variety of new skills in the
production process. The main
skills that I have learnt about in
the art of using continuity editing is very simple. If you have a lot of continuity errors in your product
it will be obvious and have a large effect on the atmosphere you are trying to create. For example
in are main product The Mark we have used a three way montage so this variable doesn't have a
large effect on the overall feel for the atmosphere is effected. if you look in more detail when you
watch the preliminary task you will see that there was a lot of rules that editors use when editing
this type of product. These are the match-on-action, close up, 180 degree rule and the shotcounter-rule. With these three types of shots/editing tools it helps the product to run more smoothly.
Looking back at the preliminary I believe that I have become more advance in the art of editing.
Ive used a lot of different types of skills such as making a three-way montage for my main product.
This was really effective.
So overall I believe that I have learnt that continuity is a really important aspect that you have you
to concentrate when you are editing a piece due to it effecting the pace and mood of the piece.
