Master Edits in a Professional Film

 

Film: Frozen 2

Leitmotif- There are a couple of leitmotifs throughout this movie, but the one that I chose is the distinct vocalization that Elsa hears throughout the movie. In this shot Elsa hears the sound while playing a game of charades with Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf which causes her to become anxious and scared. The others were confused because only Elsa and the audience can hear the voices. The vocalization symbolizes that the spirits are trying to call her. Elsa started to hear the sound in the beginning and it continued throughout her journey until she fulfilled her purpose and free the enchanted forest.


Symbolism- Throughout the movie they frequently mentioned four spirits: fire, wind, water, and earth. The wind spirit pushes Elsa and Anna to go on their quest of finding the truth and the voices that Elsa keeps hearing. Throughout the film, it contains a series of trapezoids with dots and lines on them. Each symbol represents one of the spirits. This shot is in the entrance of the enchanted forest, there lies four  tall stones. The stones and the symbols drawn on them symbolizes the four spirits that initially ruled over the enchanted forest. 


Simultaneity- After Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf entered the enchanted forest, they encountered to inhabitants that were trapped there. The fire and wind spirit led Elsa and Anna on a route inside the forest. This led them to discover a shocking truth of where their mother was actually going and how they lost their lives. Elsa decides to go to the Ahtohallan river to find the truth of what started the dispute between the people of Arandelle and the enchanted forest. She sends Anna and Olaf on a different path to protect them from danger. The simultaneity shown is while Anna and Olaf enters the cave to find a way out, Elsa is about to go through the dark sea to Ahtohallan. The scenes are happening at the same time but in different locations.

                                                                                                             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
