Monday 13th September

Today introduced me to jump cuts. I was quite nervous when I was told we had to work in a three with people we had not previously worked with. At first I was hesitant but once I was in a group, I was comfortable with what we were doing and I felt I worked well with the two new people I now know well. To accomplish our jump cut we took one long shot where they would jump into one another and then swap their clothes and shoes with each collision.

I was also introduced to premier. One of my main concerns heading in to this course was editing. I had previously tried at home and had struggled quite badly. However, with the guidance of my lecturer, I really enjoyed learning the basics of editing. I felt comfortable trimming and cutting and I found constructing a final piece to feel quite rewarding. To make our final piece, we took the one long shot and cut out the bits where they swap shoes, jumpers and glasses. Then the clips left are put next to each other and gives the illusion it has swapped instantly.
