This module was extremely interesting to me, I love to edit a movie because I think the entire tone and mood can be created in an edit. If the editing is bad, the movie is bad, if the editing is exceptional, the movie is exceptional, in my personal opinion. Throughout this module at AFTRS, we were asked to edit clips of certain short cuts of films into different themes.
1. Build a tension
2. Cause and Effect
3. Contrast
4. Create a metaphor
5. Create an emotion
6. Imply a memory
Each of these themes, to me, were extremely doable and very vague, which meant I was able to experiment in the editing room and create small 30 second-1 minute clips which explored these themes.
After these were completed, we analyzed many movies and the way the editor could manipulate the audience into feeling an emotion or noticing a detail in the plot which left them thinking they understood the world on the screen. After these we had to complete a SELF EXPOSITORY piece and a CHASE SCENE, both of which I had extreme difficulty with... But ended up getting finished and turning out quite nicely! Stay tuned for the videos!
