Above is the rough edit of the fellowship of the ring scene in The Lord Of The Rings;
We were given the
instruction of edit it how we feel it should be and to not necessarily follow
the script. Using Avid I accessed the footage, created and sorted my bins by
character. As I began to play with the footage I was really unsure on what
angle to go down. So I decided I would keep it close to the script but how I
would have wanted the scene to go. I really enjoy editing and Using Avid it was
really interesting to use something different. I managed to link different
shots with the same sound and sync the footage up correctly to create fluidity.
When it was shown to a
group of people they really liked it. A few people in the group were shocked to
find a Gandalf shot which I had found searching through the footage. The
teacher pointed out on my timeline that I had carried the sound from one clip
slightly to another. He stated that this was a good thing as it makes the scene
flow more fluidly.
If I were to do it again I would
have chose a different direction in which to take the scene. I would have
focused more on the metastrategy rather than how I remembered the actual edit
that was used for the feature film.
