Film & TV Language: Editing video feedback and learner response

1) Type up your feedback/comments from your teacher.

WWW: Very entertaining - another video for the meme generation!

EBI: However, this does not meet the brief. Initially there is an excellent cut to show match on action but after that you lose continuity editing and in fact have no cutting on action or shot-reverse-shot.

This task really needed the dialogue element in order to demonstrate the skills but I do accept I was entertained and the soundtrack genuinely made me laugh

2) Type up your feedback from fellow students.

WWW: Great use of sountrack

EBI: No conversation

3) Now reflect on your video. Did you meet the brief and successfully include the three key editing aspects we have learned?

No, I forgot that I needed to add conversation. I didn't add any sort shot-reverse shot. The video also was under 1 minute.

4) What were the strengths and weaknesses of your final film? Write a detailed analysis picking out specific shots, edits and any other aspect of film language you think is relevant.

Strengths: Humour and soundtrack

Weaknesses: There were continuity errors - one shot I didn't have a gun and the next shot I was pointing it at the other person.

5) Learner response: what aspect of editing did you find most difficult? What have you learned from this process that will help you when you start the actual coursework later this year?

I find planning difficult as I usually like to jump straight into filming
