5 Master Edits From Films

This first edit I came across in the film was Contrast. PT and Charity's lives are very different and this edit shows why very well. Charity is well dressed and sat at a table sipping tea from a beautiful teacup, while PT watches and makes his own wooden teacup to try to look like her. They are clearly living from different classses. 

This next edit from the film is called Symbolism. PT was shown dressed as the showman in the beginning of the film but then the scene changed to when he was a little boy having the dream to be a showman before he actually became one. 

The third edit from the show New Amsterdam is Simultaneity. The two characters are shown talking on the phone at the same time, but in different locations. 
  
This next edit is Parallelism. PT and Charity are shown as young kids exploring an abandoned house that they love to go to. Later on in the film, they become married and live in that house together showing the same elements but different scene. 

This last edit is Leit Motif. PT and Clarity are in different places and are shown in different shots that lead to one purpose. They are connected by continuing to sing the same song even in different settings and in a different context.

Week 2 Editing

Image
This week we mostly focused on editing sound and adding sound to what we edited in the first week.  We left only a little non-diegetic sound in the beginning, but added eerie music to the killing scene.  The same transitions are being used, like the black sudden screens, but now we are going to add more film to create quicker transitions.  Our biggest problem this week is our film we gathered. While editing, we realized that the killing scene does not look as real as we wished. So next week we plan to re-film the scene and add a prop, like a big fake knife. This will give the scene more realistic features.  The same video and sound effects are being used. We did not spend as much time editing this week, since we need to focus on more filming, but overall we had a good week of editing.

Week 6 Filming Process

Image
In this shot, we tried to create lighting that seems mysterious to match our  plot. Here we have the hallway leading down to a darkness and a human figure standing in the middle.  In this shot, Donte is shown on the phone calling his other friends when they find the object that belongs to his friend who died there. He tried to look scared to create suspense.  In this last shot, Chris is taking a close up shot of the object left on the ground. Once we start filming the real opening, the object will be a bracelet.  This week did not have many issues, we just need to get the correct props once we finish our rough draft filming. My favorite shot to take was the hallway scene because it creates an eerie feeling for the audience. I am confident in how this opening is going to come together.
