I have recognized
that my editing and camera skills have improved immensely; it is more
sophisticated now than when I had first commenced the project.
Camera shot
The wide shot of
young Ivory in the park is useful for the audience because it presents the
environment she is in as well as showing how she is isolated by the other
children and left in her own little corner.
Camera angle
When young Mercy
and friend bully it is a low angle from Ivory’s perspective, looking up.
This is a low
angle, the audience is placed in Ivory’s perspective because as it is from her
perspective it is almost as if we can feel the hatred of the children towards
her which makes us feel sympathetic towards her.
Camera composition
I have incorporated
the rule of thirds when young Ivory sticks her tongue out at the camera. This
has been used successfully because, here if the screen was divided into three
horizontal and vertical lines her eyes would be above the first horizontal
line.
Camera movement
When Camera first
focuses on photo and then tilts up to show Ivory’s face.
The tilt upwards is
used very well because before the tilt, the camera focused on what Ivory was
doing but
Editing
Match on action
from young Ivory to old Ivory.
Cross-dissolve.
From young Mercy’s hands to emphasise that she
wants to get her message across. Her emotions.
Parallel editing
just before Mercy wakes up to show her fearful feeling.
