Cinema studio, week 3 reflection

In this week, we had shown our own version for the editing. To be honest, this is my first time to efficiently design different shoots depends on concrete script with my group members. Also, we had individually edited it based on same footages. It is so interesting and meaningful experience. Firstly, I get more intuitive feeling in the area of camera coverage, such as the necessity of camera movement, the reason of shot changing, the different way of story showing and so on. Secondly, I think it is a good way to learn useful thing from others editing. We had saw sorts of projects of different groups, through their projects, i found that diverse elements will affect the whole edited scene. For example, the train scene my group filmed was totally same footages, I haven’t added music, but one of my group members did. As a result, I found his edited scene be more attractive. The music tempo will lead the viewers have different emotion. Besides, as the classmates said that because we did not know the whole story, so we just made one scene according to the script, we cannot leave anything to audience.

In the Friday class, we experienced the role of director in 10 minute. Seriously, I think that is not easy to me. Since the basic thing of a director is able to control the situation, he need know what is he want, and can immediately and efficiently arrange people in different area. However, in the film process, I thought I haven’t efficiently communicated with others both in language, unfamiliar and nervous reasons, also, the shot which I designed is a bit complicated. As a result, I think I didn’t successfully have a shot that same with I designed in my mind. But anyway, that is really good practice to realize the shortage of me. I hope and believe I can do better in next time.
