The video I made today was created by clipping different parts of movie clips together over music.

Editing Task

This is the opening scene is from the movie Apocalypse Now. This scene shows how to artfully use dissolve cuts to make an elegant scene. The scene first starts a  fade  into a seemingly peaceful scene of trees. Slowly the music begins to kick in with the sound of helicopter blades (a helicopter flies in front of the shot to further solidify this assumption) in the background and a green mist growing within the shot. The scenery then begins to change suddenly and begins to fill with explosions, this shows audiences the true chaos of war and how destructive it can be. The camera then begins to slowly  pan  to the right as the smog and smoke begins to thicken, this increase in smoke helps create a very effective  transition  for a  dissolved transition  of a man, presumably apart of the war that is commencing, having flashbacks of what he had seen during battle.

I chose to use glitchy editing techniques as it used commonly in horror movies

Their costumes also show that they are prepared or preparing for physical conflict, something that is common in these kinds of movies. Lighting : The scene uses low key lighting, this creates an ominous and serious tone within the frame, the use of backlights along with the angle in which the shot was taken shows the viewers that something intimidating and dangerous is coming. Actors (Placement) : The actors within the frame are placed in a synchronised battle formation giving the viewers a feeling of coordination and a feeling of trust between the figures. The fact that they all have their weapons drawn and are looking directly towards the camera adds to the feeling that something intimidating and dangerous is coming. M...
