Task 2/3 - In Camera Editing/Developing Editing

In-Camera Editing

In camera editing is a technique of video production in which the camera operator shoots the shots in the exact order that they will be viewed in. It was a technique used a deal in the early days of the films making before ''splicing'' (the art of cutting/reconnecting film strip) became easier. The film is ''edited' by simply switching on and odd the camera. One of the most famous in-camera editors was George Melies.

Pros and Cons In Camera Editing Analysis 

Pros:

• Its takes less time when it comes to editing.
• When planning out the storyboard, you only have one shot to make when it comes to filming as you would not have any chance to change anything around.
  

Cons:

• Focusing the camera in the right position when filming.
• Changes can not be erased from the camera.
• When filming the timing is important when the camera turns on and off.

Editors moved from in-camera editing techniques was because new camera equipment's came along and, also had the benefit of editing on the computers using software to make the filming less stress full and easier to edit and produce films. - Explain why editors move on from in-camera editing techniques 

 

The shots we manage to used in our video was long shot, close up and wide shot.
During the filming, when the camera operator showed a wide shot of myself, awana and talha walking towards each other. The camera operator was able to show the audience a clear view of three of the characters meeting each other and the environment they were in.
I believe as a group we could have improved our communication skills while the camera was recording has they were few background noises. Another reason was at the beginning of the video, as a group we could have improved our story line by giving a clear beginning as they were few shots that were cut off  before the camera was turned on.
