Week 3 – Art of Editing

As for last week in our Media Lectorial we were given an in depth tip into the world of editing. It was nice to learn how editing can be used for various things in media. And changing meanings behind simple editing could create a whole new meaning into a piece of work. We learnt things such as a obvious edit, when we saw a picture of a potato and then Donald Trump signifying the two as similar beings. Then we learnt about smooth invisible cuts, in one of the film sequence that we watched, it showed smooth transition between the characters and position, there will always be a specific spot the characters will be standing all for continuinity.  We also watched two different films of the same genre and setting. Both of them were about cowboys robbing a train cart. However the old one was just shot from one angle and there wasn’t too much suspense. The second one showed a lot of different cuts and shots and with the added music showed a lot more suspense. From that we were able to see how editing has effected film throughout the decades.
