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.

Although caption’s function is explain, but it is also important in movies. The overall caption colour of our final project is difference. It can be say the difference is prominent, the colour of some scenes are dark and some scenes are light, so the form of caption is difficult to decide.

Many Koream movies caption are: white is inside, other colour is outside. I have studied a number of movies, about the colour of caption i found that most used white is inside, blue or black is outside, a few number of outside is used purple or green.

I think the caption colour and the type of film have a little relationship. If the type of film is a horror film, the caption colour use colour, it is not fine, but with more in line with black or white.

My final project is a drama, so whether colour or black and white, that is great.

The following is classmates’ feedback with my final project:

Pasitive: 1) Really interesting idea! Good shot composition, and actress.          

                   2) The visual style is nice.

                   3) Very dramatic story.

                   4) Sounds like a complex, but interesting story. 

                    5) Lighting is interesting.

Need working upon: 1) A little hard to figure out the plot, 

however i am sure the finished piece will make it clear.

                               2) Lighting

                               3) Try to show story rather than give it away. Subtitles needed for the email shot! Motive?

                               4) The story needs to joe clearer.

Other comments: 1) Look forward to seeing the final product.

                                      2) Warch a film called “plarrorm”.

In this film, he take the scene of worker enter factory door, and scene of sheep was drived together. This ways make original scene put up new meanings.

From these links, i can refer to some cutting techniques between face to face talk. And a little the rhythm of  scene changes.

A man and a women are roles. They have different life style. You can say that they are two kinds of person in a social, one kind of pepple enjoys the leisurely life, they like do something what they interested in, the others are enjoy the quick rhythm, while the story of we talk is compose by these two kinds of people.

They are office mates but they like the parallel line never meet in the space, the man pursue speed, enjoy pleasant sensation. He think the soical is hight speed development, while time to him means money. He hope everyday in his life can faster and faster……

His everyday is such busy, he always come in hurry and left in hurry, he absolutely never consider what happen surround his life.

While she think the world is too big and we are so chickenshit, she wants slowly down to enjoy every minute every second. She hope she can easily catch the pare world, music, gereous dishes in the daily life.

They live in their personal world, no communication, no language……Suddenly a day, because a car accident it changes their relationship, they are not unfamilar likely before, he become to learn more about live under her effect.

Life is continuum, then they understand slow their step to tast scenery along the road.

My final project want to express one women through one thing which doctor’s misdiagnosis make she understand: life is short, we should enjoy life.

Our shortfilm’s length is  about 20-30 minutes.we are planning to use 2000 pounds to shoot it.                                                                                                                                             

Our plan: About ten days finish the initial process. There will be few more days arranged to making any additional shot as follow. The whole process will be finished before April. The more will be cut and later produced during the Easter time, this process will be finished at 20th of April.

Before I seen a MTV of Korea. Now I still remember, because that MTV shoot is very beautiful. Whatever angle or edit, they are wonderful. I have seen a lot of people to imitate it, but I still feel it is the best, nobody can exceed it. Just now I see it again, and I am affected again.

 Next it is also a  music MTV. Usually I see a lot of all kinds of music MTV, because I like listen music and some MTV is so nice. Although it is only a few minutes, but the story is express so complete. About this music MTV I want to say, I very like some scenes. Like actor and actress were write on the paper to communicate. And the camera across window to shoot action of them. The scene is beautiful. It is very similar like with “friends”. Sometimes they see the naked men at the opposite side through the window.

we decide to shoot drama,  the main reason is drama’s rhythm is slowly, but the plot opposite compact. This is true portrayal of  social appearance and some special person’s life, and the audience could  engender the resonance of feeling.
