Preliminary Task: 'The Phone Call'


This was a very useful task for me as I was able to play around with iMovie and teach myself some new skills as well as learning skills from my teacher and peers. 
I feel as though making this 'Phone Call' short video has prepared me for my A2 coursework, as I now understand the importance of continuity editing. 

Things to think about when filming & editing:

  • Natural framing & compositions 
  • Review footage before leaving location in case a scene needs to be re-shot
  • Music & sound effects (diegetic & non-diegetic) - sets the mood / builds tension 
  • Transitions
  • Add effects e.g. zoom after filming (in editing) 
  • Create a sense of verisimilitude 
  • Semiotics & signs 
  • Serendipity - when things just happen / fall into place 
  • Narrative
