editing practical task

1) Discuss what your preliminary exercise will involve – make notes on your blogpost of location, sequence of events, casting etc.

location:classroom

characters:shymia,dhurata,ramla

sequence of events:an undercover investigator forgets the files needed and tries to hide them under her shirt...

2) Write a short script for the preliminary exercise. Remember, scripts outline movement and shots as well as dialogue. The BBC Writer's Room is a brilliant resource for tips and examples of TV scriptwriting. Here's a genuine TV script example from Luther to check you are formatting your script correctly.

Publish your completed planning on your blog then you can start shooting and editing your film. Using your phone is fine for this project but remember to set up the phone in landscape (sideways) to ensure an appropriate widescreen shot. Alternatively, you can sign out a Canon DSLR from Mr Ray.

This is my editing practical video.I have used editing to create enigma and action codes withing my video.I have followed the concept of using the 180 degree rule,shot reverse shot and match on action.This practical task was very enthusiastic because it required almost the same amount of skill as my film recreation task at the start of the year.At some points the quality had become a bit abrupt which had made my video a bit less of good quality.Overall my whole clip is about two private investigators.Dhurata is shymias boss and is not very good at her job.Shymia takes her revenge by hiding the most important file needed for the criminal case.Find out what happens next.....
