Our Five Master Edits
The first editing style my partner and I used was a 'Contrast' edit, this is done by cutting between two different scenarios to highlight their differences. This edit took us five different shots to be able to recreate it. My partner (Madison) and I decided to film two drastically different personalities in order to really captivate the essence of this editing style. In our video, the viewer can clearly see one person being lazy and acting tired while the other is hyper and extremely active. This is shown by Madison running and jumping around while I lay down and keep trying to go to sleep.
The second editing style my partner and I used was 'Parallelism,' this is done by connecting two different scenes by focusing on parallel features. This edit took us four different shots to be able to recreate it. We decided to film trash on a lunch table from one side and then Madison walking up to the table from another side. We made sure to film each shot from opposite sides in order to show parallelism in this type of edit.
The third editing style we used was 'Symbolism,' this type of edit is achieved by cutting from the main scene to another which allows the audience to create a symbolic connection. This edit only took us two shots to be able to recreate it. Our scene starts out in the middle of the courtyard, the camera is focused on the Trojan logo plastered on the balcony of one of the buildings, we then pan to the ground where a Trojan head can be seen on the ground. The camera zooms in on the ground until all you can see is black and then it zooms back out only to showcase a Trojan Statue found at the front of the school. This allows the audience to create a connection between the initial logo and then the final shot of the statue, this illustrates school pride as well as our mascot.
The fourth editing style Madison and I used was 'Simultaneity,' this edit is done by cutting between two events going on at the same time, this type of edit is usually used to create suspense. This edit also only took two shots to remake. We decided to take a video of an "airplane" flying in the sky and then cut to me waving from the ground up at it in order to achieve this style of edit. By doing so, we are able to convey to the audience that while the plane is flying above, someone is watching from below.
The fifth and final editing style we used was 'Leitmotif,' this style of editing is done by repeating a shot at key moments in order to create a sort of code. This edit took us 6 shots in order to be able to recreate it. The video started by showing me get angry and aggressive, it then cut to Zoe waving at me and then it cut back to me stomping my feet in anger in order to signify something bad might happen. I then walked over to Zoe and shoved her, then the camera showcases Madison reading a pamphlet. The camera then cuts back to me stomping over angrily in order to serve as a cue that I might become aggressive again. In the next shot, I can be seen walking over to Madison and also shoving her away. By repeatedly cutting back to me being angry, we were able to create a visual code which would signify to the viewer that someone would get hurt any time the camera panned back to me.
