Overall, the decisions in which we made for our final editing process were based around the intention of our narrative, creating anger throughout. This was presented through the use of quick cuts and a few cross dissolves in order to portray the emotion. We only made a number of small changes, within our storyboard we had a shot of the angry character banging their thist onto the table, due to the fact we couldn't fit this in while editing with any suitable cuts, we could no longer include this shot. Aswell as this, within our storyboard and animatic near the start we had a close up of the angry characters face which we planned to last approximately 2-3 seconds, as we ended up filming this free hand the shot became extemely shaky which led to us having to cut it down, therefore it was kept very short. On the other hand, these were the only changes in which we had to do as we were happy with our final animatic so stuck to it as best as we could. The changes in which we did make, however were mistakes that show we need to have better preparation for future editing tasks. As i have mentioned before, we tried our best to keep the school like things out of our narrative, unfortunauly we realised while editing that during an over the shoulder shot of one of our characters the tripod was left in the shot, this clearly demonstrates the mise-en-sence is very important. However, apart from this the mise-en-scene was just how we wanted it. Although the lighting was fairly dull, this portrayed the dull aggressive mood but wasen't that clear. The props in which we used, consisting of the table and chairs and the book one of the character reads worked well, in order for this to happen we had to move around alot of the other table and chairs in the classroom, so the room didn't look like a classroom! The expression and emotion we were hoping our characters would show wasen't always possible, the angry character didn't always keep a stern aggreeive look, however i don't think this effected our narrative and the people whom we chose are not actors, therefore they did well acting in our preliminary task.
The cinematography in which we chose to use was acheived throughout, the different camera movments such as a pan to the back of the characters head was shown as planned. Aswell as this, all of the shots worked well, apart from a close up of the angry characters face in which we had to cut down, this could of been achieved to a better standard if we didn't film a close up of his face whilst him walking, this illistrating we should of planned bettter.
The continuity rules such as the 180 degree rule and shot reverse shot demonstrated how they are meant to look and the intention of them. The editing progressed the continity shots to convey there meaning such as to show on going energy from shot to shot. The music in which we used was the same music we used for our animatic, we decided to stick to this as we felt it created great tension throughout whlist fitting to our particular narrative. When the characters exchange dialogue to one another we faded out the music gradually as we felt it gives off a clearer effect rather than just cutting it off suddenly.
We managed the meet the breif exactly as the characters within our narrative did exactly what was asked of them "a character opens a door, walks across a room, sits down opposite another character and exchanges two sentences". We kept on refering back to the brief in order to make sure this was met. During the preliminary task i have learnt a number of continuity techniques and specific shot types to create the right effect, as well as this i have learnt how to edit shots effectivley creating the best effect on the intended audience possible.
Below is our finished task:
