Match-Cut
Today’s lesson we given a storyboard and had to make up shots for it, there were two groups one had to make up the series of shots whilst the other did the same and they we would have to compare the results.

The storyboard was:
A day in East London, 3pm. A man has confidential information and eagerly loads this on a CD. He then packages it to send it off.
In the group I was with Emre, we worked together in this task and David, together with Teddy worked on the same task. After we finished comparing, we found that Teddy’s and David’s sequence was in more detail as they considered more elements and was praised by Mickey for their work.
Mickey then introduced us to “match-cutting”. Match-cut is used in editing where you have a scene and two or more shots, in different angles, have been cut accordingly to fit and let the action carry on with no interferences. It’s a requirement for our thrillers
Mickey then showed us his version of the scenario he gave us. We spotted how he applied his match-cutting technique into the video.

Our Preliminary Video Planning
Our group was given another scenario, we had to actually produce the video piece with our ideas that we put on paper. The scenario was that one person walks into a room, sits opposite the other character and shares a conversation. Our group came up with ideas into creating the shots and putting them together.
