Q1 Weeks 5 and 6 - Master Edits

 Due 10/09


After spending some time learning about camera angles, different shots, and the emotions they invoke, it's now time for us to move on to editing and transitions.

1)  First you will view the two following online articles and one video which will introduce you to the effects and importance of editing and transitions in the films you view as well as future films you will make.  After viewing each please take the corresponding quizzes.

Types of Video Transitions
Week 5 Quiz 1

A Beginners Guide to Film Editing Vocabulary
Week 5 Quiz 2

Week 5 Quiz 3

2)  Now you will create your own version of each of the five master edits mentioned in the video above

 Contrast - Parallelism - Symbolism - Simultaneity - Leitmotiff

a.  You can shoot the videos needed for this assignment on your phone or a video camera if you have one.
b.  Keep in mind that each edit requires more than one shot--some may require many.
b.  You can create these shots with a partner, but each partner must upload the final product to their individual blogs and have an individual interpretation of the shots.
c.  You will edit these videos into one film using Adobe Premiere Pro, to include an opening title (Our/My Five Master Edits by Your Name(s)) and a title for each of the five shots.
d.  Do not focus on the sounds in these clips because sound will be addressed in a later lesson.
e.  The type of transitions you choose to demonstrate each of the five edits is up to you.

Watch these video once you have all your shots ready to edit.  They will help you get started in Premiere Pro and help you export your final product.

3)  Post to Your Blog:   Upload your finished film containing your five edited shots to youtube and post a link into your blog,  then discuss each of your shots and how they demonstrate the 5 Mater Edits, just below your video.  Remember, everyone has to do this in your own blog, in your own words, even if you worked with a partner.  Below is my sample "Five Master Edits".



4) Comment that you are finished at the bottom of this blog post once your film is posted to your blog.
