In this week’s class, we screened our work we’ve made so far and went through some editing techniques. After watching other’s work, I feel that it is not about quantity, it’s about quality. If you just focus on one scene, and keep working on it, it will be better and better. For example, Aidan’s night landscape is really great, I liked it a lot. He worked a lot on the audio, some of them are really creative and real, like the typing sound on iphone, the sound of people walking by, etc. Also Corey’s research is really interesting, and there is indeed big difference when there is background sound and there is not. The lighting and depth of field are all great in his shots. Kenton’s scene of making tea, the framing and angles are great, the lighting is also wonderful. Fabiana’s shots of the place look so filmic and beautiful.

For my screen, I showed the purse one. Paul said the depth of field in mine is really good, also it is very well stylized and cut. Also it is funny at the end.

I realized that my problem is too many scenes. What I should do in the future is to be more focusing. work on one specific scene and make it better and better, consider all of the elements, mise-en-scene, location, lighting, color, camera movements, editing. To make a scene filmic is hard to achieve.

one may not attack their editing methodically enough, it can get chaotic, confusing

your projects, sequences and bins will be diabolically complicated unless you are organised within your project
