A task was given to the first year Film students at Staffordshire University. In production the students were given the task to film a simple story board of 6 - 10 shots. The task was undertaken by a particular student to film a boy playing football. This meant that they could use many various angles around the footballer. Within this edit there are several issues;
- The first of the issues is the pace. The music and the narrative of the piece are quite fast pace, whereas the pace of the edit is very slow, this disinterests the audience and if the editor were to edit this piece again then should flick between the shots at a quicker rate.
- Continuity is also another issue which the editor had not ensured was accurate, the cut between 00:14 and 00:15 in the first shot he is holding the ball and instantaneously it is then on the floor. There is also an issue where a chunk of footage is missing so the editor cuts straight to a close up of the ball for the goal kick. This jump cut takes the audience away from the film.
- Colour Grade - This film received no colour grade and this meant that some of the footage didn't have the same feel as the other pieces, the piece itself also felt a bit plain and had not strong contrast within the footage. If the editor was to do this again they would ensure to grade the piece accordingly.
- Throughout the piece there is an issue with the timings and the music as the cuts don't time well with the music and this causes the piece to feel jarred from an audience's prospective. The editor should have ensured they had check the beat of the music to the cuts and made them link better to create a more succinct and flowing edit.
This film was edited in Adobe Premiere Pro.
