My final project has finished. I am very excitation. Our group’s final project name is Change. It is a drama. The length is nearly 20 minutes.
Our shoot work was finish before Easter holiday. We went to Sheffield to shoot it. The whole shooting used three days. The time was short and very tight. But everything was fairly smooth.
My role is edit. In order to be familiar with every scene’s content. I also went to the scene of shooting. In the scene of shooting, I was continuity clerk. I wrote note of the contents of every scene, it is convenient for my editing after. We have shoot five tapes, it include two tapes of China and three tapes of UK.
Editor is one of the main creators. It is in charge of selecting, sorting, and cut all the scene material (the screen material and sound material); exert montage techniques to carry out the compilation group, making it to be a complete film.
Often, there are many things you can not expect them. I am in the scene of shooting, when the shooting. And that time I think scene is enough, whether close-up or empty scene. But when I was editing the shooting material, I found that scene is not enough, the more, the better. If these scene is enough, some scenes’ connect will be very smooth. Because if you take a panorama and a close-up to connect together, when audience sees it, they must feel it is not uncomfortable. So, usually more different depth of field is good for the scenes’ connect.
Whether how many tapes you have, the tapes’ system style must same. The five tapes of us have one tape is different with others; I try many ways to change it, although the result is good, but it waste a lot of time. So, next time we need pay attention to setting before shooting. From other side to see, this condition I encounter first time, in order to change the system style waste a lot of times, but it provides a good opportunity for me to practice, so that my editing level have greatly improved.
I want to learn how to use the software of Avid in my part time next year. Although I have laptop, but use it to edit video is not fast. It also affects the whole progress of work. University provide good equipment for us, we should make good use of it.
