Editing Techniques Used

In order to create a successful film, my editing techniques would have to

be at a high standard. I used many editing techniques in order to keep it
at adequate standards. These are some of the techniques I used when
editing.

Technique Explanation

Shot reverse shot Shot reverse shot is used in our film

to show the conversation between
the preacher and the protagonist.
This was an effective way of
introducing a new character into our
sequence.
Slow pace I used slow pace editing in my film
in order to create a calm
atmosphere. This was used in the
first scene to show that nothing
drastic happens.
Filters I used filters in my film in order to
change the atmosphere. I used a
filter called hard light which made
the atmosphere dark and distorted.
Transitions Transitions played a big role in our
film. I used many transitions in
order to create a distorted
atmosphere in the scenes. A good
example of this was the use of
Gaussian blurs transition when the
protagonist confronted the
character. I did however use many
straight cuts as getting too fancy
would be over the top and amateur
like. I also used many fades to
provide smooth scene changes
when needed most.
