In groups of 3 and 4 we were asked to film and edit a three
minute cuts – only silent movie. This proved to be a challenging task as were
not allowed to use transitions no sounds and no title. Come to editing it
proved to be quite straightforward once I sat down and got to grips with it.
Teamwork/communication was crucial in this production of the movie. Producer
was able to organise and bring the team together and film in one full day. Only
problem we had was the weather not being on our side but this didn’t stop us
from filming.
What went well for our silent movie was the variety use of shots
that we used to give our movie a cinematic type of feel, which I feel went
spectacularly well. However every group member was required to edit their own
version of the film to see if we had the skill and capability to use avid to
its highest standard possible. For me personally the positive side of things
was the clear continuity of the narrative, which was shown quite well during
the video. Negatively speaking the use of soundtrack did not fit well with the
actual video itself with a fast paced and tense build up would make the
audience think something big is about to take place when in fact that is not
the case. What can I do better next time? Well to start I would choose a
suitable soundtrack to go with my narrative and make it more appealing to the
audience in order for them to be more engaged and involved.
