Chapter 10 focuses on post-production, primarily editing techniques that bring footage to life! Covering basic principles like cutting on action, matching shots for continuity, and the importance of pacing to maintain engagement. It also emphasizes the editor’s role in shaping the narrative by guiding viewers not only visually but emotionally through the story.

Abby Powledge – the way that i am (live from my dorm room!!)

This video takes a more unique approach at it’s editing style because the song itself was recorded in one take. While the song was recorded in one take, there are different camera angles that they flip between to provide variation throughout the video and the change in angles is slow and relaxed. These two aspects give a more organic feeling which matches the “live from my dorm room!!” setting.

This scene in Barbie uses a plethora of different filming techniques that make the editing style so unique.

It’s pretty fast paces which reflects Barbie’s urgency to figure out why her feet are flat and then the urgency of the mission she has to embark on.
