Across the two productions I have created (a thriller opening at AS and a music video at A2) I feel that the post production stage has been significant because I would not have of been able to gather as many ideas as I would have of done on Paper. Also I think it inspired me to be more creative in my work.
Eisenstein believed that editing was "the foundation of film and art" and what I believe he is saying is that the editing stage is one of the most important and is needed to bring together ideas of art into film. This was true for me as it brought together my ideas that I had originally planned on paper and the editing stage brought them to life.
In this essay I will discuss my skills development using these ideas. In my Thriller Opening I used a slow motion shot to represent the tension and anticipation of the storyline. It was through the effects on imovie I was able to do this. I was able to adjust the speed of the frames to slow down the shots. This effect was also used when my protagonist was having flashbacks. This therefore made the audience think a lot more.
I also used slow motion shots within my Music Video, this was used to frequently represent my music and the lyrics of my song. I feel that the progression here is clear as I was particularly matching the lyrics to visuals, using conventions of a music video.
Eisenstein's belief that meaning is created through editing and becomes the 'foundation' of that film is evident here is clear as I was matching the visuals to music at the Post Production stage.
Eisenstein's belief that meaning is created through editing and becomes the 'foundation' of the film is also evident here as the slow motion matches the meaning of 'time' and this is clear to the audience.
- When writing in exam, use 3 examples for Thriller Opening and Music Video.
