EDITING

What is it? Breaking things deliberately to create gaps with meaning. The exercise of 5 card stories was very interesting to see how stories could develop from apocalyptic into a twisted romance. The idea that putting something together is way too basic now. It’s about the meaning, which I never really thought could so easily be changed so quickly.

I found it quite interesting to see how when things are contrasted (for instance having King Joffrey morph into Christopher Pine) that meaning can be found so easily found. It’s interesting that often editing isn’t just about making sure there is flow to a story, but meaning within each shot to fulfil what audiences expect or perhaps be a curveball which they’re not expecting.
