Task Three - Developing Editing Techniques

Developing Editing Techniques

In-camera editing is a type of editing where you record and stop recording which allows you to jump from scene to scene with different camera angles.

With in-camera editing there are going to be pros and cons. To begin with will be the pros, when we were creating our short film we noticed how time efficient it is and how much easier it will be to edit. Also we put much more thought into creating our short film. But where ever there are pros there will be cons, as you can tell from jumping from scene you can notice that we froze in our positions then the camera would stop recording. This is because the lack of communication and our timings were not correctly used.

In our in-camera editing shoots, we used shot types such as mid shots, close ups, long shot and a wide angle shot. We had success in our acting skills which were much better than the last time we done some acting, also we had one successful scene from when it went to one point to the other. Things to improve would be our communication skills, timings and camera skills. This is because some scenes were not successful and this was due to the lack of communication skills and our timings. Personally I would say that we have improved on our acting skills mainly but many things to improve on.

Here is an example of a person who created in-camera editing.
