4 Hour Challenges

Unusual Perspective

In this short film we were tasked with making a short film exploring a different perspective of what would normally be seen, in knowing this I based my film around a persons day to day life of going and sitting at a bench,  when shooting this I decided to follow the protagonist throughout the film using different angles and distances that could be considered unique for this sort of movement, such as extremely long shots from a weird angle or close up shots of the protagonists feet while walking. In editing this short film I learned how to create "bins" in premiere pro and learnt the importance of renaming and organising clips as it makes the editing process a lot simpler, especially if you are coming back and continuing with the edit at a later date, helping you know what shots are what and whether the clip is particularly useful or not.

Wii Music Short Film (Illusions)

For this short film we were tasked with creating a short film that involved visual illusions with the camera. With this in mind we set out to use jump cuts and a stiff camera position to create the illusion of teleportation, we did this to the Wii music to help set a pace and create a light hearted feel to the film. In doing this I learnt how to closely edit a set of clips to help match the audio it is going with while making sure everything seemed coherent. 

About You

In this 4 hour editing task we had to edit clips we had found online to a song set to us at the start of the task,  in doing this we had to find clips that matched the setting and pace of the music video and made sure we edited them inline with the music, making sure that what we saw in the clips matched the pace and beat of the music. Throughout this task I improved upon my previously mentioned skills of editing clips to help match an piece of music making sure both fit well together and the final piece seems coherent.
