 2ND DAY EDITING - CLIP ARRANGMENT


Today I went through and edited all of the clips together. This took me around 2 hours to put the clips together and add transitions. While doing this I made quick cuts switching from chess move to reality which enforced the theme that the chess moves are in charge of the reality the victim is living in. But before doing that the intro had to be made.


The first clip was the bird running across the ground away from the other birds.

This represents the emptiness and cold hearted killer 

The next clip is a spray painted barrel saying look at the roof which transitions into a metal crate with hand prints and hearts on it.

 Then finally the chess board is seen and quickly zoomed in onto with a cut into the feet of the victim running.

Next the clip shows the killer playing the knight as his first play and cuts into the victim running from a POV shot. 

As the doubleganger moves her pawn the killer takes a step towards the victim and she continues running.

The next play is the killer opening up his bishop with the pawn moving forward.

This cuts into the killer grabbing the crates that the victim is running towards.

The next play is the victim being scared to move and taking back her move towards the pawn.

This move of her second guessing is seen through the victim stuttering between her steps whether to run left or right but choosing right.

After she runs left the killer Is shown peeking down the same alley she ran down.

The next play is the victim playing her pawn again and she is seen running down to a dead end and the killer coming up behind her.

the killer puts her and checkmate and the reality shows the killer revealing his face. 

The victim plays a random move and starts smiling thinking she is being saved but the killers next play is him taking her king and killing her in real life

The crates are shown again and is transitioned into the credits.

Editing: CLIP LENGTH

 One of the things that re surfaced my brain while editing was the effect of clip length. Earlier in the year we learned how clip length can effect the audiences feelings. Longer clips were more prosperous and calm whereas shorter clips created a sense of anxiety.  After remembering this I ensured that the ending where the main character realizes her state of distress would have shorter clips combined into a montage of her trying to escape. I did this by using straight cuts and short clips with changes of perspective. As stated previously the scenes were shot repetitively in different angles for me to choose while editing. But rather than choosing I just incorporated almost all of them to create a state of anxiety within the audience. This was the end product.... Implementing the shot of the "Mother" tapping her fingers on the table and then a dutch angle view of the clock symbolizes that the main character is running out of time. This is shown in the clip right after when sh...

 FINALE - SUMMARY Overall the process of making a film was interesting. We began with a plan that was abruptly changed constantly throughout the film process. My teams creative nature helped us achieve the end goal of a spectacular film in an efficient amount of time. As an actor and editor of the film that didn't limit my role on the team. I had my fair share of participating in everyones role which helped bring the ideal film come to life. But when I had my teams back they had mine. The director made sure everything was completed on time whereas the cinematographer helped by recording hard chess scenes and bringing her vibrant ideas. This collaborative effort helped us develop a great film with deep meaning. Our film was originally going to be about a competition for a job position but that changed into a horror/drama on a woman being killed by her lover. As the chess game goes on the victim keeps making bad moves referencing back to her bad decisions in real life.  The film...
