Classwork editing practice

This blog post is for the editing classwork centered around cuts me and sagara were in a group together when we made this

Why is continuity editing important?

Continuity editing includes making sure that items like props or costumes stay consistent from scene to scene. But the more important work lies in editing shots together in a way that leaves viewers thoroughly grounded in both time and space.

Different types of continuity edit 

• Straight cut (cut)

• Eyeline match 

• Shot /reverse shot

• Cutaway / Insert 

*Match cut

Footage

Here is the footage that my teacher shot which utilises a variety of camera angles and movements. The scene is very simple, it involves a student standing up and leaving the classroom. A single shot here might be quite boring for the audience, by editing and combining the shots together we can make the scene feel more dynamic. 

My editing process

- We edited the video by first identifying which clips would come first and cut it in a way where it maintains continuity editing we also decided on making the clips darker to make it seem more professional in a sense. gratefully me my friend didn't encounter any major errors or hurdles

- We made 2 scenes where we experimented with the clips given to us and tried to make a "story"
