Final Video: Compromised

Editing Analysis

Editing has a lot of components. There is: lighting, sound, continuous analysis.


Lighting

If the the scene is set in the afternoon then make sure when editing the overall exposure and the lighting of the shot is the same because then the shots will look original look to it and it will make the movie or scene more appealing to the audience. we used the video below for guidance to figure out how we can improve our lighting in our videos.

Sound

Sound is a key component in a video. You have to consider a lot of factors in sound work. Sound work consists of:

• Dialogue
• Music
• Sound effects
• Removing lots of background sound effects e.g (wind, cars moving)
• Foley sound effectsx 

We watched this video for tips on what we can do to enhance our sounds. Whilst filming we did use a rhode mic for most of the filming. The sound was pretty clear.

Continuous editing

We tried our best to use the 180 degree rule in the clip. We  Our video consists with all of these techniques shown in the video below:

• 180 degree rule 
• Eye line match
• Match on action
• Shot reverse shot

Storyboard Final

Title Analysis

The style the director and the crew have used in this movie to exceute such a high quality and closse realated title poster fits the genre of the movie. usually with action genres we use big and bold fonts for example IMPACT what is a very bold font which we plan to use as well.

The title we are aiming for is to be big and bold with red coloured letters and it will be called Compromised. The reason behind the name itself is because based on my research: in order to really attract peoples view of the movie before watching the movie or trailer is to have a dynamic and stand out tile. Just by looking at the title people have immediate responses to the movie. therefore calling it comprised will aim to add that mysterious feeling to people thus making curious as to what the movie is about. the reason for the red colour is because of two reasons. the first is due to the fact that our movie is based on a gang therefore what better way to represent gangs than having the colour of one of the biggest and most known gangs in the world, the Piru blood gang. the other reason which is ideally a more valid reason and that is to add more to the mysterious and thrilling affect by adding the red colour. Red usually connotes death and love and our movie will have blood and some love in which a brother like relationship should commence between different actors.We have also decided to not have a background and just keep it black to make the title really be the centre of attention and not stand out.The images bellow give examples of what we are aiming to do.
