Despite Instinct and Intention not being my first preference, I think it will be really beneficial to learn and improve my editing abilities. I am enthused to expand my knowledge and skills of Premier Pro and editing as a whole. This studio will allow me to gain knowledge and skills from others around me, as everyone has different skill sets and styles of editing. I am eager to build on my current knowledge by observing my teacher and peer’s methods and ways of editing. I am more interested in the documentary and commercial side of editing as opposed to scripted dramas and improvised works, however, learning how different styles of media are curated will be interesting and useful in my future endeavours and career.
The studio brief mentions that “editing is storytelling with a razor” insinuating that there will be a big focus on the cutting within an edit. This is the backbone of what editing is; selecting which clips should go where, how long each clip should run for and what clip serves the best purpose for its sequence. This is important to curate the best quality piece of work and it is small decisions such as cutting a clip half a second earlier that can elevate a piece of media to the next level. There are many other elements to editing that I am really interested in such as sound design and colour grading. Colour grading is something I have only recently been introduced to and I find it so fascinating how it can make something feel so much more cohesive and aesthetic, so this is something I would really like to focus on in projects and assignments.
