Relativity

Last week we started the task of editing the 'Relativity' footage. At first I found this quite difficult as the image and the sound were non-sync, and so it became much more of a challenge than 'Night Journey' was. I aimed to pick the shots first, and these would be ones that I thought would create the right emotion for the piece. Once I was happy with the shot choice, I would then find the sound that matches up to it which wasn't always easy.


I think the editing to which I have completed so far has achieved the right emotion and an appropriate balance of rhythem with it also. Certainly it could still do with some improvement to it, to which I will be doing later on. These improvements would include adding more shot reverse shots in it between the mother, daughter, and what I assume to be the husband, or partner. This would add to the tension that is there between the three characters, and I think it would improve the tempo of the edit.

In terms of the sound I have used, I have only really put in dialogue, with the occasional extra sounds that are there in the background. At this moment in time I haven't had a chance to experiment with it much, nor have I looked to see if there are other possible sounds to include. This is also something I will look to improve on.
