Editing Decisions Part I - Dom

We edited our shots using final cut pro

To get the point that his life was really dull without him capturing moments, we decided to saturate the whole film. The to emphasise the point that the girl was his way out of this depressing lifestyle, we use a gradual increase in colour when he gets closer to the girl.



Moreover when the main character captures something, I didn't bother saturating the footage. I used a video filter called 'light rays; this was to really show that was he was seeing (in his eyes) was spectacular. It makes it appear almost like a fantasy, i.e unrealistic.

as shown here




I also played around with the contrast and colour of the footage to make it appear really vibrant.

continuity editing was used throughout to keep the film flowing, most of the cuts are standard cuts.

Editing of the office scene is found here!

There is a part of our film where we show the passing of time through multiple cross dissolves of a static shot. so it appeared as time was passing. this gives us time for us to add more speech in the monologue to get across how he is feeling.



Fades are used to create a smooth transition and also to show the passing of time, thorughly throughout.

At one point, where our protagonist is looking for the girl. A series of short cuts of town/city scenes are used to create the impression he rushing around trying to find her. This emphasises his desperation to get out of the lifestyle he is in: this is his opportunity to escape.
