Posts about the editing process

This has tended to be very poorly blogged in the past.

Avoid diary type posts where you simply describe what editing you have undertaken/or posting a few images of an imac or a few images of you editing. This is a hugely complex process (involving lengthy decision making and complex editing skills) and you need to ensure that you do yourselves justice by posting well illustrated, reflective and evaluative accounts of the process.

Plan posts that will reflect :-

1. Illustrate (perhaps through Screen grabs) how you have demonstrated particular continuity editing techniques such as Match On Actions, 180 Degree Rule, Shot/Reverse shot, Eyeline matches, etc.
2. Examples of how you have used editing to create effect - for example the creation of PACE, Parallel editing, Cross cutting, through the use of particular transitions, or how editing has been used to manipulate space or time,
Again consider HOW you will illustrate these.

3. Your decision making - throughout your editing experience, you will discuss (and maybe have disagreements) about various alternatives - try to capture some of these discussions and post differently edited versions of a particular scene with a discussion as to which version was decided upon and why. This is a great opportunity for audience feedback and to evidence this.
