Cuts and Edits Practice

Over the Christmas holidays we were tasked with creating a number of ten second clips for a number of cuts. I had some trouble with the quality of the video as the phone I filmed on is quite poor.

This is the video I created:

Operator

Narrative   Equilibrium – A lady works as an emergency operator. Disruption – She gets a call. Recognition – She learns there is a fire in someone’s house. Attempts to Repair – She calms the woman down and instructs her on what to do whilst telling the fire department where she is. New Equilibrium – The lady is safe and she moves onto the next caller. Gemma is the damsel in distress, trapped by the fire and in need of saving. The operator is the hero, helping her to safety. The fire is the villain.  Lighting The light is created by the computers on the operator’s desk and a small lamp. This creates both a calming contrast to the terrifying situations that they have to navigate, but also creates an ominous glow. It makes it seem like an interrogation light, adding pressure onto the operator, signifying that it is all down to her to save this woman and her child.  Costume, Hair and Makeup ...

The Ellington Kid

Narrative Equilibrium – Two boys are sitting in a café, one has a burger, the other just has chips. Disruption – One boy notices that the other has a burger and begins to tell him the story. Recognition – The boy realises that the other is implying that the boy who got stabbed the other day is in the burger. Attempts to Repair – He spits the burger out.

The villains are the boys who stab him and come to finish him off. It may seem like the café workers are the heroes at first, but it turns out that they may also be the villains as well.  Lighting The café needs to be lit as that is the reason the boy goes in, as he knows there...

Post 4 and 6 - What I Want To Do And Why/Final Pitch (Short Film Plan)

Short Film Plan - The Sound of Trumpets My ideas always seem to involve death, such as someone taking their own life, killing a parent or the person they are renting a room from. I knew that I wanted to take a dark route, possibly adding a message. This is the idea I have at the moment: Short Synopsis: A boy has had a serious argument with his friend. He decides to kill him. The film follows the main character as he struggles to deal with what he has done.  “It is forbidden to  kill ; therefore all murderers are punished unless they  kill  in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets .” - Voltaire  Detailed Synopsis:  We open on a black screen. There is a voice over saying, "When I was nineteen, I decided to kill my best friend." We cut to a boy with a knife in his hand. It continues to cut from this sequence to the black screen between the voice-overs. "Some people might call me crazy, and they're probably right." The camera is below looking up. He starts...
