Q3 Week 7 - Editing

My group and I have designated this to be the introduction of our introduction scene. We decided that out of all scenes this would be the best to grab the attention of audience. Our editing on this scene will most likely be very simple as the scene is meant to speak for itself. We ultimately decided that suspenseful music and a simple fading transition would be best as to not overedit the scene, as we believe that would defeat the purpose. The only real trouble we encountered was inserting the transition as we had never inserted the transition that we were using before. The music was fairly easy to edit in as we had edited in music or a voiceover of some sort in a previous assignment. The editing for this scene took about a period and a half (around an hour) as there was a lot of playing around with the system before finally figuring out what we thought was going to be the finished product. Editing was done by Kaelyn, Whitney, and myself collectively, as we all wanted to learn how to use the program. We will be discussing after spring break whether the finished product of this edit will fit best in our overall scene.

The student hard at work is supposed to represent the typical image set for freshmen in high school. Whereas the student sleeping is supposed to represent the typical image of seniors in high school. Symbolism: For the symbolism edit we decided to take a shot of a book and transition to the Collier County Public Schools emblem (which contains a book) to symbolize the education that takes place in Collier County schools. Leit Motiff: For the leit motif edit we used a particular song (of Kaelyn's choice to clarify) to clue the audience in to the dance that was going to occur every time that given song is played. Parallelism:  Our parallelism shot begins with a shot of a person walking with white shoes. The sho...

Mise En Scene - The Purge

I watched The Purge and analyzed the key aspects of mise en scene throughout the movie. This mainly consisted of staging, setting, lighting, and costume. Staging Staging plays a pivotal role in this movie as it does in all movies that rely heavily on narrative and dialogue. The performance style use throughout this film is most likely method acting, as the actors embody the characters and take on their personas, making the movie more realistic. The actors' of such performance often helps the influence the emotions of the audience during the film.  This is easily shown in two different instances: during the day and during the night of the purge. During the day, there is an almost safe and comfortable demeanor resounding from the characters. This changes, however, once night time roles around and the purge begins. The characters are then terrified and alert, which in turn makes the audience terrified and alert as well. Setting The setting contrast that is most noticeable...
