Editing/Shot Ideas


Both of the videos below have a similar use of shot/editing for their narrative. in Rack City it is at 0:04, 0:09 and 0:20; it uses a slow shot of a character, and then has their name appear, letting the audience understand their relevance.



The video below is Cee Lo Green "Fuck You", this video also has titles. These titles are used in a similar way to Rack City however, they also use the these titles indicate different times, in similar zones. This also helps with the camera work/techniques, because the video appears to be very similar to a one take video. It creates this effect by using shots that are moving around the same area. Here are all of the times for the different titles (0:17-0:19, 0:25-0:27, 1:22-1:25, 1:42-1:46, 2:23-2:26, 2:55-2:57, 3:16-3:20, 3:46-3:50)



We have decided that something like this might add some order to the chaos that is our rough cut. this will help our viewers make sense of the characters; their relevance to the song and video. the way that we could do this is by fusing both of the styles, using the monochrome colours and simple text from Rack City and the zoom/rotation/camera angles from Fuck You. one of the ways we could do this is taking a print screen from the shot that we want, trimming/making minor adjustments. then using photoshop to add the effects and text to the image; once edited placing it into after effects, this will allow us to create the pan/zoom.
