To help us get to grips with the our new editing programme (Premier Pro) we decided to film a short film sequence of someone walking from one point to another. When we filmed this we used a variety of camera angles and camera movement. These varied from extreme close ups to long shots and we also used panning.
However, we did this exercise to focus on editing skills and when we edited this film sequence, we edited one of the films which showed the entire journey and this helped us focus on maintaining continuity. This film was around two minutes long and this is clearly too long to walk for a short film so we re-edited the footage considering elliptical editing so that the journey takes less time. We did this by cutting out irrelevent footage that we didn't need to use to convey the journey.
Below shows the two film sequences, the first is the two minute journey considering continuity editing and the second is the film considering elliptical editing.
