I showed the edits to more people Xiao Chen, Christine, and Judy.

Xiao Chen, media RMIT year 2

STORY:

The boy broke up with his girlfriend, they had a big fight last night. The letter contains a letter to the tune of ‘Come here if you want to find me’. But the boy doesn’t take the letter because he wants to end the relationship.

GIRL: not an important character

1. A little bit strange, second cut (Jennifer)

2. Might be (Jessica)

3. Mine, chose good angles (Less weird)

4. Definitely not, too obvious (Daniel)

5. No, after first transition (Lena)

6. Might be, continuity good, needs to be closer to the actors (Priscilla)

7. Close up unique, stylistic, might be. (Weird)

8. This one is not mine, because there’s only one pan (One take)

9. Not mine because too many shots (Stephanie)

 

Judy, non-media student

STORY: BOY and GIRL are friends, he is a regular at her bar . The letter is from his ex-GF.

Judy picked Jessica’s, One Take, and Less Weird as my edits.

1. Jennifer’s is definitely not mine, not cut properly, looks like the person couldn’t be bothered and randomly decided to add a cut

2. Jessica’s is pretty good, she liked the first pan, but doesn’t like the pan back to GIRL

3. Less Weird is pretty good, creative, liked camera movement to follow letter – would have been better if in focus though

4. Daniel’s definitely not, too many cuts, sound and visual not continuous

5. Lena’s is definitely not mine because of the transitions

6. Priscilla’s one is not mine, just doesn’t feel right

7. Weird is definitely not, doesn’t like it because there is no establishing shot until the end so can’t see the set

8. One take is good because it’s simple

9. Stephanie’s editing is not bad, but there are too many shots and angles, doesn’t like the low angle, but possibly mine

 

Christine, non-media student

STORY: BOY and GIRL are friends, he is a regular at her bar. The letter is from his ex-girlfriend, girlfriend, or from his boss.

Christine picked Jessia’s, One Take, and Less Weird as my edits.

1. Jennifer’s one is not mine, edit is random

2. Jessica’s edit is OK, but doesn’t like the panning

3. Less Weird is OK, liked the panning to follow the letter

4. Daniel’s is definitely not my edit

5. Lena’s is definitely not

6. Priscilla’s is a possibility

7. In Weird, there are to many CUs, doesn’t like CUs in general

8. One take is good, simple

9. Stephanie’s edit had too many shots, definitely not
