Creative Media - Level 3 - Year 2

For my trailer there is a number stylistic editing choices that are vital for my trailer to be effective and follow the codes and conventions of a traditional film trailer. Firstly, I used sharp and quick cuts instead of long cuts, this is so that the audience only see a little bit of shots and it leaves them wanting more. It also creates a high tempo, which builds tension and the audiences will be left on the edge of their seats, which is the purpose of a film trailer. It also helps keep the trailer to an appropriate timeframe, which is vital as if it gets too long and could become boring to the audience. Secondly, I edited in appropriate music to compliment the shots and cuts. To do this I had had to find my desired music on YouTube, then convert the MP4 youtube video to an MP3, then import the MP3 into adobe premiere pro. The music works well as it juxtaposes the quick cuts and high tempo with slow tempo music. This leaves the audience feeling uneasy and intrigued by the film ...

The non-continuity edit has a lot of key features that make it non-continuity and show the audience that the timeline of the film is not linear. The biggest non-continuity edit I made was to alter the beginning and end of the film. I made the decision to move the ending from the the last scene of the film to the first scene. This meant the films timeline was not linear. This was clear to the audience as the main character Tom is panicking and having a mental breakdown, when in the next scene, he is waking up and starting his morning. This causes the audience to have immense intrigue and be on the edge of their seat for the rest of the film as they try to perceive how the main character ends up up in this situation. To help show the audience that there has been a change from a linear timeline to a non-linear timeline there is a dramatic change in lighting from the first scene (the end) to the main character starting his day in bright lighting, which implies to the audience that ...

This shot is an establishing shot of the main character and shows him in the first shot. The close up also shows the audience the emotion of the character while he is sleeping, this is the first sign to the audience that the character has mental problems. This close up shot also shows the audience the emotion on the characters face and again in another shot shows the audience that the character may have mental problems. Having two shots showing the audience this early on of the characters distress will stick with them throughout the film. The use of the shot reverse shot is used here as there is two people talking to one another and     this allows the audience to see the full emotion                                                                             ...

Continuity editing is the process of combining shots that are related or different shots cut from a single shot cut into a sequence to direct viewers to a existing consistency across both location and time. Non-continuity editing is the editing technique of mismatching shots to mess with the impression of time. This disturbs the audiences impression of reality. An example use of non-continuity editing would be a flashback or a montage. I am going to analyse a section of several clips and evaluate their use of specific editing techniques. I will explain the type of technique used in each clip, then I will explain my believed purpose of said technique.
