Teacher Feedback

1. Integrate an establishing shot

2. make the actors sit faster

Then Mr. showed me a Spoof Documentary American Vandal and it showed me about better ways of making people sit and how to do and establishing shot with a J cut included, the audio but the clips I was provided by my group was too soft for a J cut to be substantial.

American Vandal

This was after the feedback was implemented:

Thoughts: I think this was a great idea the establishing shot really sets the scene and lets the audience knows that we're in a school, and making the actors sit faster helps with pacing

A problem I have found persistently during editing is the over exposure within the footage that my teammates sent, I have no idea if it's my editing software or their phones but it was a persistent problem I had to fix with all the tools I have.

Example of the video being normal in the video player (lots of others also had this):

Example of the problem inside premiere pro:

Solution I devised was using the effect Brightness & Contrast:

Thoughts: I have no idea why this happens, luckily I had options to fix it to maintain continuity within the video and between scenes.

After we send it back to Mr. for more feedback it was clear to him that it was heavily needed because he gave us a lot of feedback that was invaluable with improving our product

The numerous feedback he gave us:

After the Improvements were implemented:

Thoughts: If we didn't have that feedback I think this whole project would have been really difficult to work with as me as an editor personally, I NEED directions if I am to edit a video for someone. So the feedback was incredible is providing clear directions for improvement
