OH MY GOD!

To finish off this project we were asked to group together with another team and edit our two 'Oh My God' videos together and then film an ending.

We teamed up with Ant, James and Ester and decided to go for a comical ending as it went well with my ridiculous acting.

Here is our Final Edit:

OH MY GOD! from James Harris on Vimeo.

There are a few nice edits we added, that i feel highten the humor. For example the slow motion effect when I drop the phone. My problem is that the two seperate projects dont really relate to each other at all. Individually they work well but put together they just leave the audience confused. That said I feel for a short 3 day project we have produced a good final product.

Day Project: Continuity Editing

This task follows on from our previous lecture about crossing the line. We given a very simple set of stage directions and asked to make a short video following someone running to something in a panic. The title was:

OH MY GOD!?

I was chosen to be the subject. I had to look concerned about something i had seen or heard on my phone and then run from camera right to camera left throughout every shot untill i got to my final destination.

Here is what we created:

Looking back at it there are a number of shots which I would have like to have done again. There is one in particular just after i have jumped over the rocks where the sun is almost completely blinding the camera. I think we should have changed that to be just a still shot looking in direction i was running, with a slight angle. That I aside the film flows fairly nicely and we didnt make any mistakes in terms of crossing the line.

Audio Editing

Today we were set the task of editing a voice clip. The recording is of someone walking through the basic controls of a Sony HVR Z1 Camera.
To do this is used Garageband, a simple program that is installed on all mac computers as standard.
Below is the track its self...have a listen!
