Video Editing

Today in class we worked on editing film, audio and still images. We looked at how certain combinations of images evoke different emotions. Placing 2 totally unrelated clips side by side can create meaning, the audience watches these clips in a flowing and consistent form giving them the impression that the 2 images are interrelated. Juxtaposing images can create a jarring and opposing effect allowing the audience to question and contemplate the footage they have consumes. By placing 2 similar files side by side it can highlight or put emphasis on one particular element of the clip. Editing allows the filmmaker to make suggestions to the audience e.g by showing a shot of a person looking down, then showing a shot of a gun on the floor then showing a shot of a 2nd person lying on the floor it implies that the 1st figure has shot the second one.
