Editing in Film Jigsaw Vocabulary (Research)

 





        This was a group assignment in which my team and I had to work on defining the 32 terms on editing in film. The terms were all ways that edit or move the camera to create effects. Other terms were important because they established the rules of film and how breaking them messes up the film. For example the 180 degree rule is mentioned. It is also mentioned that if this rule is broken that the scene becomes chaotic and losses the screen direction. The terms were given to use to stregthen our understanding on how to use the camera since we will soon enter our pre production phase.

Final Product (post production)

             https://youtu.be/UvkJotit_yQ                     After months of research, analysis, and production we finally finished our intro. We decided to give the main character (Spence Spencer), narration during the intro and ending sequences. During our first edit, we looked back at comedy movies and realized many had the main character narrate while no dialogue was occurring. We decided to follow this convention. We also added a new scene at the end to better establish the narrative of the rest of the movie. Another change that was added was the makeup. In our first draft it was obvious we never put thought into the makeup so we changed that by using makeup to give Spencer the main character a black eye in the last shot.
