UNIT 16 - Evaluation of edited sequence




In our short edited sequence we successfully used thew following techniques, 180 degree rule, match on action, graphic match, and shot-reverse-shot. In my opinion i think we done a good job with the techniques we were given as they were followed precisely and accurately.  However we could of improved the graphic match as it looked a bit un-professional  and seemed more towards the amateur way of filming.

We used the 180 degree rule rule efficiently as we followed the exact rulings of it. When filming we didn't cross the line and we kept to one side when filming over both shoulders. The audience would be disorientated as the camera was focused on each of the characters and did not move over to the other side, so i would personally say that we have done a good job of keeping with the 180' degree rule.

We also used the technique Match on action. This is when we use continuation to make sure there is a smooth flow in between shots and scenes. This makes it more realistic and it appeals to the audience more because they aren't seeing jumpy cuts. This made the scenes fit perfectly together. i think we used this well as it added continuity to our short film, however we could of used a variety of different shots rather than using the same one repeatedly.

The Shot-reverse-shot was also done successfully in our film, as we kept switching between the characters as they were speaking. This is the technique and we have done it successfully in our short film, as the camera focuses on the characters as they speak. We used a over the shoulder shot for each time we speak to show the character that was speaking and how a bit of the characters that is listening.

In our film we however did not put in parallel editing in our film, this technique shows two events happening at the same time, we did not edit or film scenes to be able to put this technique into place, this is something that we could place in the future in further projects. This could potentially effect our overall grade as we didn't include this technique that was needed.

The graphic match in our film, was also not done very well, as the shot was at a weird angle and the two objects that we needed to frame was also not fitted perfectly, so it made the graphic match seems unprofessional and to be of low standard. I personally think we would of taken objects into frame perfectly, and then to make the quality of the graphic match better I would make sure that the objects were lined up together accurately and I would move back with the camera slowly to make them disolve I to eachother. This would have been more appealing to watch.
