Editing Part 1

I was tasked to work with a partner on a text entry task, and together we chose a TV show and a Movie that had consistent takes of editing; therefore, we identified and took note of: 

Jaylah Dawkins, Brian Murchison

 

1. 

From 1:33- 3:08 there were 29 changes in the shot. 

 

2.

 

In this scene, 0:00-2:00, there were 31 changes in the shot.

-While viewing upon the extracts the calm one seemed more enjoyable due to the calmer setting and positive connotations with it, while the action scene was more stressful to watch due to the constant changes in the scene. focusing on multiple subjects.

 

The calmer scene mostly focused on less people than the action scene. The duration of the shots can allow the audience to grasp more details due to the time allotted and spaced between the next changing shot.

 

The editor wants the audience to understand what is happening in the scene so therefore will immerse them into being physically in the scene by emphasizing emotion and action shots, switching and cutting to each actor.
