  • Use of many cuts with audio overlapping the footage and creating a good transition
  • Many jump cuts between scenes, and smooth transitions from scene to scene.
  • Between scenes, a lot of the cuts have sound queues such as a song playing, or any other dialogue from any of the characters
  • Faint dramatic background music in the middle of a semi-intense scene
  • They would have cuts between background characters looking, during a scene in which someone was confronted
  • Some music fades in as they walked away from a group of people. Music to fill in the blank sound
  • When one said something that caught everybody’s attention, the music in the background immediately stopped playing
  • Cut to black, followed by fading-out music
  • Angus Wall: Angus Wall is a well-known film editor who has won 2 Oscars, among other awards as well as multiple nominations. He is well known for editing films and shows such as Game of Thrones, The Social Network, and Fight Club.

Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)

We had some issues with time, as we had wanted to film all of it in one day to avoid costume issues. Despite that, we made it work after enough practice and rehearsal.

Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)

I helped direct the filming, while I worked with the director in post-production on certain editing techniques. I collaborated with the sound designer on what music could sound okay and what could sound good with music within the film.

Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)

Adobe Premiere Pro was used to edit the film, and Adobe Media Encoder was used to render the film, as it is easier and much more efficient to render using media encoder. This is so I could render it out on my GPU rather than my processor.

Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)

Communication within the group during this project was crucial in learning overall. As we learn how to collaborate not only as a group but individually as well.

Reactions to the Final Version

“Some cuts were a little too long, but it was good” -Ryley

Self-Evaluation of Final Version

I was happy with the film. There were a couple of things I did want to change last second, such as making one of the cuts slightly shorter, as well as fixing the weird audio issue with the repeating beat.
