VIDEO ENDS HERE, TRT: 3:43 ### Hiki Nō Edi)ng Tutorial - Shape Your Story Through Edi)ng - Page 5 of 16 Shirley Thompson Editorial Rough outline of script of the rest of So, let’s start by watching the first rough the class begins here cut of a story by the students at Waiakea High School with their teacher Donn Yamamoto. Cut to RC1 of Foster Care story TRT 3:11 This first rough cut was made for a summer workshop in Hilo, and amazingly this story was made in just four days. So I think these students did a really good job. The Hiki Nō staff asked them to develop the story further and they asked me to mentor the team. So, I sent them these notes. Hiki Nō Edi)ng Tutorial - Shape Your Story Through Edi)ng - Page 6 of 16 Shirley Thompson Editorial CU of email from Shirley Shirley reads email: Thanks for sharing your student's Rough Cut 1 with me. In general, it looks like this crew certainly knows how to edit a sequence and they have done a nice job cutting this story. Frankly, I find the beginning of this story pretty boring. We begin the story about two office workers doing office work. There's no hook here. It became slightly interesting when I learned that they were a married couple who work together. Small hook...might catch small fish. But this story didn't really get interesting for me until we got to their foster daughter, hearing about her relationship with them and hearing about the fact that they foster lots of kids. Is there a way to lead with their fostering and build the rest of the story around that? Less office work and typing, more talking about the challenges and rewards of being a foster parent. What do you think? Shirley on Cam: So, these notes were written to a teacher who is a colleague I have worked with on many, many stories. Let’s break them down. Hiki Nō Edi)ng Tutorial - Shape Your Story Through Edi)ng - Page 7 of 16 Shirley Thompson Editorial First, never start a story this way: “This is my name, this is what I do.” For Hiki Nō, we always introduce a character with their name and title as text on screen, so there’s never a need for them to say it themselves. I think they did it here because they were in a workshop and they didn’t have titles. But more importantly, every story needs a hook at the start: something you say to your audience or show them at the very beginning of the story that makes them lean in and say, “Tell me more!” It has to be something that the audience connects to either intellectually or emotionally. And if you have to choose between the two, emotion wins every time. Hiki Nō Edi)ng Tutorial - Shape Your Story Through Edi)ng - Page 8 of 16 Shirley Thompson Editorial So, here’s the most important lesson and if you only remember one thing in this entire tutorial it’s this: always edit for emotion. For me when watching this first rough cut, I didn’t lean in until Ronnie the former foster kid showed up in the story at 1:44. I felt real emotion when Ronnie told her story. And when Danielle and Jonathan talk about being foster parents, they light up and your can just feel how meaningful the experience is for them. So truly, the work that they do in their office is far less interesting. But the fact that they care for other people’s children when the parents can’t…that’s the part of the story I want to hear more about. So, with those notes, the students re- wrote, acquired more footage, re-edited and created rough cut 2. Cut to rough cut 2 TRT: 3:43 So, it’s very rough and missing a bunch of footage, but that’s okay at rough cut 2, especially when I know that their story is changing, and they haven’t done their second shoot yet.

  • The General Idea Behind Editing in Narrative Film Is the Coordination of One Shot with Another in Order to Create a Coherent, Artistically Pleasing, Meaningful Whole
    Chapter 4: Editing Film 125: The Textbook © Lynne Lerych The general idea behind editing in narrative film is the coordination of one shot with another in order to create a coherent, artistically pleasing, meaningful whole. The system of editing employed in narrative film is called continuity editing – its purpose is to create and provide efficient, functional transitions. Sounds simple enough, right?1 Yeah, no. It’s not really that simple. These three desired qualities of narrative film editing – coherence, artistry, and meaning – are not easy to achieve, especially when you consider what the film editor begins with. The typical shooting phase of a typical two-hour narrative feature film lasts about eight weeks. During that time, the cinematography team may record anywhere from 20 or 30 hours of film on the relatively low end – up to the 240 hours of film that James Cameron and his cinematographer, Russell Carpenter, shot for Titanic – which eventually weighed in at 3 hours and 14 minutes by the time it reached theatres. Most filmmakers will shoot somewhere in between these extremes. No matter how you look at it, though, the editor knows from the outset that in all likelihood less than ten percent of the film shot will make its way into the final product. As if the sheer weight of the available footage weren’t enough, there is the reality that most scenes in feature films are shot out of sequence – in other words, they are typically shot in neither the chronological order of the story nor the temporal order of the film.

  • After the Shooting Period the Editor Made a First Rough Cut of the Movie on His Own Only Guided by the Script and Some General Discussions with the Directors
    After the shooting period the editor made a first rough cut of the movie on his own only guided by the script and some general discussions with the directors. This first rough cut was 2 hrs 40 min long. (the final film is near to an hour shorter) Below follows the director’s reactions to the first rough cut London/Amsterdam 22 april 2015 Ok Antonio below some notes please take them as a guidance not as a verdict, use them, abuse them and let them broaden your thinking instead of limiting the possibilities. Sc 1/2 – opening scenes The original plan was to not see Arthur and Vida together until they emerge on the rooftop sc 4 where they’re still partially disguised in their weird outfits. The underlying thought was that they were still hiding their souls towards each other and the audience’s journey was piggy bagging on their journey. The rave material does not support the above thought. We see them –I think—quite clearly and very often together. We should investigate your suggestion to ‘mix’ the intro shots of awakening London, the pigeons, the skin details and the rave, while hearing the voice-overs apres l’amour. The script –at the moment—does not challenge time concept, all is linear, but that shouldn’t stop us from trying. Sc 4 – Rooftop The intention is to capture that short moment in love where you don’t want to see each others demons yet, where the adrenaline rush of believing love is possible still rules. Goofing is the expression of that belief.

  • Editing 2: Final Cut Pro X Basics
    Editing 2: Final Cut Pro X Basics Battle Creek Area Community Television 70 West Michigan Ave., Suite 112 • Battle Creek, MI 49017 • (269) 968-3633 • www.accessvision.tv What is editing? Editing is the post-production process, or anything that you do to a video after recording. Raw pieces are assembled into a coherent whole, by arranging them into a context that tells a story. Editing is referred to as the “invisible art”, because when it is done well, the viewer can become so engaged that they’re not even aware of the editor’s work. What can you do in the process of editing? The majority of editing work consists of trimming clips to remove unwanted sections and arranging the order of scenes. You can also remove/add sound, add narration and music and change the volume and sound mix. You can swap audio for video, apply special effects, add transitions between clips and add titles. Digital or “non-linear” editing is non-destructive; edits are easy to revise and you can assemble a program out of order. What CAN’T you do in the process of editing? No amount of editing can make bad footage good. Blurry or under-/over-exposed video and audio that is poorly-recorded cannot be fixed. Process Overview and Terms Final Cut Pro X is Apple’s professional non-linear editor. The editing workflow usually consists of these steps: 1. Collect source material: Import media (raw footage and any other source files) into Final Cut. 2. Organize media: Rename, tag and trim clips in preparation for editing into project.

  • Videographic Scholarship And/As Digital Humanities
    Videographic Scholarship and/as Digital Humanities Steve F. Anderson For cinema and media studies scholars, the emergence of two areas of scholarly practice—namely videographic scholarship and the Digital Humanities (DH)—has created opportunities for new forms of argumentation, analysis and research, as well as new venues for the dissemination of scholarly output related to the study of the moving image. While videographic scholarship and DH overlap in many ways, they also remain distinct, with few scholar-practitioners actively working in both realms. How can we understand this separation and begin to imagine a more productive relationship between them? Key to our understanding of both videographic scholarship and DH is the ongoing cultural contestation between images and data, bearing important implications for the ways each practice stakes claims about its access to new ways of knowing, researching and presenting information. I explore here some of those distinctions and overlaps, and suggest that the primarily image-based practice of videographic scholarship would benefit from adapting a process of serial review and revision derived from early experiments with data-based digital scholarship. Adapting these protocols to the specific needs of videographic scholarship would better support the scholarly benefits of process, evaluation and collaboration. The center of gravity in today’s understanding of DH lies with large-scale, computational analysis of machine-readable data (think of text-encoding initiatives in which vast collections of literary works are converted into searchable data). The “digital” in this understanding of DH offers one way 2 to bring computation into partnership with humanistic inquiry. However, this is not the only possible framework for recognizing the potential contributions of computation to the humanities.

  • Screenplay Format Guide
    Screenplay Format Guide Format-wise, anything that makes your script stand out is unwise. This may seem counterintuitive. Anything you do to make your screenplay distinctive is good, right? Depart from the traditional format, though, and you risk having your script prejudged as amateurish. A truly conscientious reader will overlook such superficial matters and focus on content. However, if your work looks unprofessional, it may not be taken seriously. To ensure your script gets a fair read, follow these formatting guidelines: It isn’t necessary to file a copyright with the Library of Congress. Your script is automatically protected under common law. However, it’s a good idea to register it, either with an online service, such as the National Creative Registry (protectrite.com), or with the Writers Guild. This being said, the Industry tends to view registration and copyright notices as the marks of a paranoid amateur. You would be wise to leave them off your script. Use a plain cover. White or pastel card stock, not leatherette. Avoid using screw posts or plastic-comb binding. Bind your script with sturdy, brass fasteners, such as those made by ACCOÒ. The ones Staples sells are too flimsy. Readers hate it when a script falls apart in their hands. You can order professional-quality script supplies online from WritersStore.com. Although scripts are printed on three-hole-punched paper, there’s an unwritten rule that speculative scripts are bound with two fasteners, not three. Why this tends to be common practice is unclear. Perhaps it’s because submissions often get copied by the studio’s story department, and it’s easier (and cheaper) if there are only two brads.

Deposit Guide Contact: email ON THE MEANING OF A CUT: TOWARDS A THEORY OF EDITING Bartłomiej Dziadosz A dissertation submitted to the Department of English and Humanities in candidacy for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Birkbeck, University of London October 2018 Abstract I confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own and the work of other persons is appropriately acknowledged. This thesis looks at a variety of discourses about film editing in order to explore the possibility, on the one hand, of drawing connections between them, and on the other, of addressing some of their problematic aspects. Some forms of fragmentation existed from the very beginnings of the history of the moving image, and the thesis argues that forms of editorial control were executed by early exhibitors, film pioneers, writers, and directors, as well as by a fully- fledged film editor. This historical reconstruction of how the profession of editor evolved sheds light on the specific aspects of their work. Following on from that, it is proposed that models of editing fall under two broad paradigms: of montage and continuity.

    ABSTRACT Editing Closet Memories: Theory and Methodology Grant M. Hall, M.A. Advisor: Christopher J. Hansen, M.F.A. Editing is a unique aspect of the filmmaking process that involves crafting production footage and audio into a cohesive story. The editor must also approach the film with an objective eye in order to craft the best narrative possible. This study examines the creative editing process of Closet Memories, a short film, from preproduction through post-production as well as the relationship between the editor and director and how the vision of each shaped the film from the rough cut to the final cut.

  • Making PBIS Homegrown Videos 3 20 16
    The following guidelines are based on my own experience working in the television industry, and specifically my observations and experiences working at school sites creating PBIS training videos. Please feel free to expand or alter according to your own experience and creative ideas! The three stages of producing videos are: Pre-Production, Production and Post- Production. Key elements to keep in mind as you plan your video: 1. Planning is critical. I recommend a dedicated notebook! 2. Consider limitations of schedule, talent and locations. 3. Do your best not to “over-produce”. 4. Keeping your videos short will help simplify the process. PRE-PRODUCTION 1. Determine your story/subject: • What are your goals in making this video? • Who is your audience? • How long is your project? • What is your timeline? • Do you need a budget? 2. Once you’ve defined the above elements: • Determine Interview subjects or “actors”. Prepare your interview questions. • Determine your production team/crew. • If possible, assign different people to take on the Producer role, the director role and the role of editor. In addition, ask another adult or student to act as assistants while filming and/or in editorial to help on shoot days. • Create storyboards or a detailed outline or script. If your video idea lends itself to a script, use a simple two-column format with video on the left and audio on the right. If your idea is more visual use storyboards (even rudimentary drawings work!). • If necessary practice with camera and lighting. • Try to rehearse if shooting complicated scenes like musical numbers.
