Right then folks, this is the plan. There are many editing techniques. One of the most popular is that of montage. You have already produced an in-camera montage when you did your video postcard at the beginning of your course – way back when...
It’s amazing how through a combination of shots, you can create pace and energy – by what is in the shot and by how the shot is filmed.
In your small production teams, you will plan and produce a montage of shots by the end of today for a minute montage section about the college to go into a promotional film about the college. Each group will focus on a specific aspect of College:
1. Eating places
2. The LRC
3. College Reception area and student services
4. College grounds
5. Various schools across college
Next, go and have a scout about college and come up with a shooting script and sequence idea.
Finally, go and film your shots. Use appropriate conventions – take two takes, be steady and calm and produce some excellence!
Your film will include at least 30 shots. Within those shots you will create an opportunity for a focus pull, a jump cut sequence (therefore you need to film a piece of action), a piece of single camera continuity (therefore you need to set up a piece of action). You will also include 2 ECUs with long background and 2 Worms eye shots. Do not use any zooms.
In montage, sequences are rarely created by chance but happen through planning.
After you have done this, you will start to put a sequence together to music. Make sure you keep detailed notes about how you are doing things and what looks good and what could look better.
You will edit these pieces on Friday to a set piece of music and write a blog which discusses the development and principles of editing.
When you are doing this work, you will be addressing Unit 15 – Film and Video Editing Techniques
