T10-Editing

Editing

As we are creating a short film which falls into the genre action, editing is very important and must be done well to get the effect we want. When we have completed filming we will be editing our production using MAC computers and using the software Premier Pro and maybe Photoshop and other editing software.  

In our production we are going be including the following scenes which will need to be edited very well...

• Car Chase- In our short movie we will be having a car chase scene and after getting the footage for this film we will need to do some good editing to make the car chase look more extreme and effective. When editing we will be using both Premier Pro and Photoshop to edit this scene.
• Technology/Spy Room-This scene wont require as much editing but will need editing in terms of making the technology more personal to the film instead of just a standard PC. We will also need to edit this scene to make it look more slick and spy themed. Again for this scene we will be using Premier Pro and Photoshop.
• Scenes including the wanted potion-In this scene we will be using some sort of glass bottle for the wanted potion so we will need to edit the bottle to make it look more like a potion and a bad potion. To edit this we will be using Photoshop.
•  Fight scenes-For the fight scenes we will be using Premier Pro to fasten up the scene to make the fight look more tense and aggressive to get the audience going as when filming if we did act out an aggressive fight it would go against our risk assessment and could effect some crew members.

Editing in action films editing is a crucial process when creating the films as most of the action that appears in the films is done through editing as a lot of it can not actually be done. The kinds of shots that are used a lot in action movies are extreme close ups, long shots, wide shots, point of view shots and extreme long shots. We will also be using these kinds of shots in our own short movie.

As our inspiration to create our film came from the film Hitman: Agent 47 we have looked back on their trailer on what editing is used and seen some hints and tips we could use in our such as the following...

As you can see this scene from the trailer looks very edited as the stunt that happened didn't really happen. We will have to edit our car scene to like this to make it look effective. 

For example how fumes are coming out the car to make it look like it has speed and is damaged, we can do this too through using Photoshop on the MAC computers.

This shot above in the trailer is edited in slow motion for tension and we can also and will do this when editing on our gun shots using Premier Pro. 

Overall, the editing for our short movie is going to be very important as without the editing our short movie wont look as effective and shots wont look right. As we filmed a short sequence for our AS product too we can carry the skills over from Premier Pro and Photoshop and use them this year too. 





This year we are more advanced in terms of editing as we know how to use the software correctly.
