Past Students Work

Now that we have got all of the footage we need, I feel as if I should look at some past students work to help me with the next stage of the process. As I am the main editor, I feel that it would be appropriate if I looked at the editing style and transitions that previous students have used within their work to see what works well and what doesn't and how we can make ours even better.

•  Titles are black and are clear and easy to read
• At 0.42 seconds a fade has been used- This is effective as the character transfers from one room to another.
• The music throughout has helped to build up tension and suspense. As the music is upbeat it sets the atmoshphere.

• Many cuts are used throughout- speeds up the pace of the footage. 

•  The main character has a shadow effect behind him each time we see him walk past.
• White titles stand out
• Music- fits in with atmopshere- very tensed
• A voice over has been added in over the top of the footage.
• 1.45- a fade has been used which turns into a blackout for a couple of seconds.
• At the end the title is all muddled up, an effect has been used to put these words in the right order.  This effect really fits in with the atmosphere as its seems like its being done in a sense of pace/ urgency and if someone is watching someone.

From looking at past students work it has become recognisable how much work needs to go into the editing of our footage to make it a good quality piece of work. From watching the work back again, I noticed how important it was that we changed our music when we did and how important it is to get this right as this plays a massive impact on the scene that is trying to be set.
