Five Master Edits



Contrast was my first technique. It is used to show the contrast between two different scenarios. I demonstrated by using the difference between fake flowers and reals ones.

Parallelism was my second technique. Parallelism connects two scenes together by highlighting the difference and similarities between them. The first shot is a shot of nature  seen in a plain field with only trees and a river. The second shot is filled with buildings and cars. The two shot represents the parallelism in a location, demonstrating how the world as evolved over time.

Symbolism was my second technique. Symbolism is used to showcase the connection between two scenes/shots. The first shot was of a tree and the second one was of a paper. The two shots symbolizes the connection that papers comes from trees. It also showcase the importance of saving the trees in our environment by not wasting paper and recycling.

Simultaneity was my third technique. Simultaneity cuts between two shots occurring at the same period of time to drive suspense. I demonstrated this by using a shot of someone waiting in a car in a parking lot, while the other shot shows me walking through an aisle in a store. The two scenes can foreshadow that something might happen to one of the characters, building suspense.

Leitmotif was my third technique. Leitmotif includes a reoccurring theme associated with a particular person, idea, or situation. The theme in this case was time, and it can be seen in all of the shots. This signify that times is running out fast and the student needs to finish the assignment as soon as possible.

                                                                                                             I started the editing by gathering all the footages and putting them in premier pro. I started the video by writing the opening credits, consisting of the film production, producer, director, and actor. I used the informal Roman font because it was simple and a little fancy but still legible. In the first couple of scenery shots, I used the posturize video effect which makes the shots clearer and makes the different colors and shade of greens stand out more. I used a cross dissolve transition so that the shots can transition smoothly, and I also used the cross zoom transition between two clips in the beginning. Every thing so far is kept with the original sound but I plan to add a song playing throughout the video at the end. At first I started the editing process using video editor but I faced a lot of difficulty since the features were limited and it did not have any transit

                                       I decided to put the title of the video at the end because it was only the opening and I used the font Ravie which is fancy, bold, and it looks really pleasant. I also use the font Poor Richard for context clues during the video; it looks good and it is legible.  I slowed down certain shots that were a little shorts, especially I where I had writing over it in order to give the viewers time to read it, and I sped up other shots that I filmed in slow motion but ended up being too long. Towards the end, I use the wipe transitions in between the shots to give it a little sequence and a cool effect. I kept the beginning, where the credits are displayed with the original audio. I decided to put the music "Truth Untold" and let it play throughout the video because it starts out calm then get more drastic as the music progress, which I think fits the video really well. I also like the song because it is a powerful, dramatic, and upbeat classica
