Year 12: Editing task

Editing is the last aspect of our Film Language unit - we'll be starting coursework after half-term. Two things to work on first:

Homework

You will have a Film Language test in your first double lesson after half-term. 

Your homework, therefore, is to revise EVERYTHING you've learned in your first half term with both your teachers - film language and the MIGRAIN key concepts. 

You need to be ready to take the test in the first lesson back.

Editing task

There are some truly fantastic clips for the Editing part of the Film Language unit but we won't watch them all in one lesson. 

Your blog task is to find a film clip on YouTube that you feel has been edited in a distinctive way and write a 750 word analysis of the clip.

Use as much media language as you can - and remember to highlight it. Try and use the key words we've learned for editing and any other aspects of film language you can apply.

If you're not sure what clip to pick, you will find plenty of lists online if you search for 'great film editing sequences' or similar. One example that comes up when you do this is something like the shootout scene from Michael Mann's Heat (3mins - 6mins particularly, but it's all brilliant):
