Test Edits Project

This project is to make a two minutes film by editing and cutting different video footages from the Prelinger Archive. It expands the use of media includes moving images and sounds.

The film has six stages:

  1. The experience of slowness of time.
    that feels like it will never end
  2. The experience of speed #1
    time going quickly, can’t keep up! (In this edit use only sound from the found footage)
  3. The experience of speed #2
    time going quickly, can’t keep up! (In this edit use only your own recorded sound and sound from the in class recording session.)
  4. Point of view #1
    One event perceived by two different people, or perceived two different ways.
  5. Point of View #2 (Split Screen)
    One event perceived by two different people, or perceived two different ways.
    Create a Split Screen in Premiere

I combined the six short edits into one film and they were cutting from the footages only, no video effects at all.

After this project, I found my interests in editing films and medias. I started to appreciate the film makers that they were very thoughtful about the frame structures, the sounds, and the images when they were making films.
