Adding transitions:
I began by editing together the first scene, which begins with Mitchell walking into the house. To put each shot together I used a straight cut, but used a fade in and fade out shot at both the beginning and the end of the scene. During the scene there were some shots which were lighter than others, therefore I used a ‘brightness and contrast’ editing technique on these shots, and then made the shots darker, and some shots lighter so that the lighting looked continuous throughout. Also during this scene some shots sounded a lot louder than others, especially when Mitchell was walking into his house and going up the stairs. To change this I adjusted the sound levels on the audio of each shot so that each shot sounded a lot quieter, and the sound levels matched with the other shots.
Adding titles:
After doing this I then added a title at the beginning of the whole production which quoted the definition of bullying, and also on average how many children are bullied, and how many people witness bullying happening. To gather all of the information for the opening titles I used the statistics and information that I had already gathered during the research stage. The statistics that I had used on these titles were from Beatbullying.org. As well as this I also included titles at the end of scene one. These titles were based on the amount of people who had been cyber-bullied, and also the amount of suicides in young people which were caused by bullying, and again I had found these statistics from Beatbullying.org.
After editing together scene one I then moved on to scene two. I began by putting all of the shots that I was going to be using onto the timeline.
Adding transitions:After doing this I then used a simple cut to go from each shot, and made shot that the shots looked continuous throughout, and that the action matched up. We had filmed from many different angles for this scene, including the point of view of the three bullies, and also the point of view from Lewis. Therefore I combined these shots together, so that the audience are able to see the point of view from both the victim and the bullies. When editing together these shots I used an ‘echo’ editing technique. This technique allowed the shot to look slightly blurry, and the audio sounded quite distant, as though it was what the victim was hearing whilst the bullies were kicking him. I then included a fade in and fade out transition at the end of the scene, which will allow the audience to see that the scene had finished. I had also used a 'brightness and contrast' editing technique to adjust the brightness of the first shot. This is because the first shot is quite a lot brighter than the second shot, and therefore the shots do not flow continuously into each other. I therefore turned down the brightness on the first shot, and made the second shot brighter.
I then went on to edit together scene three. I began again by putting all of the footage in order onto the timeline in premiere.
Adding transitions:
For this scene I used a straight cut to go from shot to shot, although I think I may add transitions further on during the editing stage.
For this scene we had filmed from many different shots, such as close up shots of the victim (Jemma’s) face, and also from the two ‘bullies’ faces. This would allow the audience to see the facial expressions of both the victim and the bullies throughout the scene. As I was using a simple cut to go from shot to shot I had to ensure that the action matched up at each stage. Whilst the conversation was happening I had used the close up shots of Jemma when she was speaking, and then the close up shots of the two girls when they were speaking. This meant that I had to ensure that I cut at the correct place so that the conversation would continue in the next shot.
Match-on-action:
I also included a match on action shot which shows a close-up shot of one of the ‘bullies’ opening the door by the handle, and then the next shot shows them walking through the door. When putting together this shot I had to ensure that both shots matched up, and that the action continued at the right stage. I haven’t yet used any transitions to link two shots together, although further along the editing stage I think I may do this. I then used a fade in and fade out shot at both the beginning and end of the scene to show the audience that the scene had finished.
When moving on to the next stage of editing I will be including more transitions to go from each shot, and also using more editing techniques to make the shots look up to a more professional standard. In some of the shots that I had used the sound levels were different, and therefore I will be adjusting these levels during the next editing stage. Finally I will be including titles at the end of every shot which will include statistics about the type of bullying which has been show in the scene. After I have completed editing everything together I will then be importing the music which will be played at the end of every scene.
