5 Master Edits of my Life

https://youtu.be/Yo0WViNE8BY

Contrast: For my contrast shot I compared running a race at a track meet to sleeping. These are two very different extremes that I thought would be a good example of contrast. One example where my adrenaline is at its highest and one where I'm peaceful and relaxing. These two scenarios are very different and are a good representation of contrast.

Parallelism: For this edit, I chose to show two scenes that had much in common, but that were overall different. The first clip is of the cheer team at practice, practicing a new dance for the next pep-rally. The second video is of us at a pep-rally performing a dance. This goes to show that there is more beyond what everyone sees. At practice we put in hard work and dedicate ourselves to learning new material to perform at such pep-rallies.

Symbolism: For these two videos I chose to chose water as my symbol. Water is a vital part of everyone's lives and can be seen in many different places and forms. My first video shows a clip of my pool and water that my family and I swim in. As for my second clip, it shows water coming out of a water fountain at school that people drink. These are just two examples of what water can do and how it can be used, which is why I chose to use it as my example of symbolism.

Simultaneity: For these shots, Saorise and I based it off of one of the examples that was shown in the video "5 Master Editing Techniques That Appear in Everything From ‘Psycho’ to ‘Hugo’". The shots we filmed were of Saorise and I walking at the same time, in relative locations. By going back and forth between the shots, it helped to demonstrate that the events were happening at the same time.

LeitMotiff: For these scenes, I showed myself doing homework versus what my mind was thinking. While doing homework and trying to focus on everything I needed to get done, my mind was racing. In the second shot you can see me demonstrating how my head was feeling, as if it was running in circles. This helped to show the difference between what someone is doing and how they are truly feeling, which is why I used it for my LeitMotiff shots.
