Final work research 9
May 10, 2009
ost-editing was my most important work, also I used lots of time on it.
It isn’t easy work, because there was lots unedited material, including empty scene and main scene, some of them were wonderful, we can used them in our movie. Some of them were useless. But most of them I can’t define used or not before compare each similar repeat scene. Most of time I can define which one was better, but some times I have to thinking again even ask other members for comment, although such cases would be very rare.
Log and shooting script were very useful when I done editing. Log always record the best scene, it was reduce my workload, and shorten the working hours. But some times maybe the scene which record in log was not the best, so you can’t overlook each scene you shoot.
Shooting script is the movie’s core. Also it is the refinement of film. We need change language text into the camera language before shoot. Shooting script is record the camera language. So, the shooting script directive me how to edit the film. Fortunately, the shooting script’s write was experienced. He is the director of our film and good at shooting, so our shooting script is detailed, although not good at drawing. It is very easy to understand all process of the story for, and which lens I need to select. According to the structure of the Shooting script, editing is easily.
As the same has been said before in the research, the opening and ending of the film is fast-paced, we get the ideas from The Devil Wears Prada (2005). Rapid shear lens and with the fast-paced music, mobilize the enthusiasm of the audiences. But in the main part of the film, we slow down the pace. Because the content of our story is abstruse, we have to use dialogue and voice-over account of the story. We have to accept our story have little hard to understand. But it is profound and meaningful, quite different from other student works. I am sure it is a good story.
