1.5.2

Ambience - middle of the day in a rural area and very dull, this give it a tense ambience. Examples wind, knuckles cracking

Foley - emphasises certain sounds you wouldn't usually hear e.g. Creaking door, knuckles cracking, fly.

Dialogue - there is no dialogue in this clip, but explains what's happening through sound 

Emotional realism - 

Establishing sounds - these sounds are usually reduces but as there is no dialogue they are emphasised to help tell the narrative and set the mood. E.g. Fly, wind and creaking door 

Sound motif - a sound that you only hear with a particular character for example when the fly is in the barrel of the gun.

Media notes 18th September

My first go at using final cut,  I learnt how to use filters to make the opening sequence look more like a thriller. Also how to cut photos in. Intercutting. I done this to build a narrative and build the story. Titles are also put on these such as the production company and the main actors will be on their own slate. The reason for titles are copyright reasons

Se7en edit

Why are we editing se7en?

• To understand the software (final cut pro)

• Improve our editing skills

• Trying to create suspense and mystery

• We used effects and filters to show it more as a thriller 

• Trying to tell a story

• Adding titles to make it an opening scene and also for copyright reasons

• Intercutting the clips make them shoter and keep the audience intersted

Match on Action

Match on Action
MoA is used to show 2 or more different angles of the same scene to make the scene more interesting to the audience. To use it you have to have at least 2 different angles of the same scene and then cut it together to make the movement smooth.

Notes 1.3.1

Head room - how much space you leave above the characters. 

180 degree rule

A basic rule that means characters should have the same left and right relationship to each other

Rule of thirds 

Vertical and horizontal lines that help place characters and background in a scene. vertical lines are for characters and horizontal lines are for actions in the background.

Match on action

Match on action is a type of editing technique which allows continuity on the same scene cutting to different angles of the same shot.
