Analysis of Video Sequence

We edited the sequence using Adobe Premiere, experimented around it so that it consists of many different camera shots, angles and movement. We also added post production sound after we finished filming.

We started off with a close up shot of character B's finger on the keyboard. This gives a good representation of what the character is doing and gives a clear idea to the audience of what is happening on the scene. We then switched to a long shot of character A about to enter the room. This gives the audience the feeling of control as they see character A before the character B sees him. We also did many close up shots of the character's face. This is to highlight the emotion of the characters and gives the audience the connection with the character.

We also included over the shoulder shots. This shot gives the audience the feeling of being in the actual conversation in the scene as it puts them into the character's position- sees and hear what the character is experiencing. Wide shots are self explanatory. We included it to show the audience the overview of the surroundings and what is going on in the scene.

We added the post production sound of the fart noise during the editing. This is to emphasis the 'pull my finger' joke that we decided to add into the scene, just to make it more fun and less boring. The sound was added using Adobe Premiere after the shots were put together.

I think we have been quite successful with editing and filming these sequences despite some little continuity issues. I learned many key skills from this lesson such as how to edit videos, add sounds, cut from frame to frame, basic use of cameras, being a director and overall it was a really useful and amazing experience.

However, for next time I would pay more attention to continuity as it can be a big issue in the bigger production.
