I created a video montage, to help practise my editing and filming skills in preparation for the making of our thrillers.

The first step I took in creating my montage was creating a storyboard. This is very useful as it will help me when it comes to filming my montage so I know exactly what shots I needed to film. Once that was done I filmed the shots I needed for my montage, which I then used Premier Pro to edit them together as well as adding in sound.

Strengths 

  • Jump cuts were used when the shots of Monica hit the pieces of paper onto her the shots of her wearing that particular item
  • I made sure to film each shot more than once
  • A pan was used when Monica was walking to the table
  • The 180 degree rule wasn’t broken

Weaknesses

  • Some of the shots I filmed at the end were rushed as I spent too long filming the first couple of shots
  • Some of the shots I filmed couldn’t be used as in some cases I forgot to tell  Monica to put hand back in the right place and to use the same hand that it was in before putting the item of clothing on, as otherwise the jump shot wouldn’t work
