We constructed the 13 second long sequence using the Sony HXR -NX5 camera and edited it using the program Adobe Premier.Our ambitions towards the final piece was to give it a serious and clean appearance. We started off creating the desired affect by setting the scene in font of a white surface and clearing the space of any unnecessary objects. Also our beginning objectives helped us decide on the type of editing we used, clean cuts, to create a serious style since makes the audience focus on the action.
The finished media text is constructed of three different shots. The long shot acting as an establishing shot in it's first appearance, since it provides the audience with a rough idea of the setting. Using the opposing over the solder shots and editing them in a fast pace helped us create the effect of the urgency. Using a long shot as the final shot, allowed us to have poppy leave the frame early so that the audience will focus in Angelina and create the scene of loneliness since she is left behind.
By not adding in any non-dietetic sound, e.g. soundtrack, it again laid focus upon the character's dialogue (the dietetic sound of the scene). The scene crates a slight tension because all of the editing emphasizes the dialogue, which makes the audience commit all their attention to clip and the use of silence creates an uneasy feeling.

If someone would ask me what my opinion is on how successful
I have been, I would have to say that I am not satisfied with the finished
product but I accomplished the main point of the task which is to be able to
critically analyse my own work and spot how to improve it.
The preliminary task allowed me to spot and analyse my
mistakes. An area to improve on is the planning. My group struggled with
deciding on a specific idea, nor did we think it through before we started
filming. I think something to consider when doing upcoming media projects is
not to rush it. To think everything through and plan precisely might take a few
extra minutes in the start but will save time through out the process. Another
important aspect I learned is to make sure that everyone in the team has the
same idea of what the end product is supposed to be. Since everyone’s
imagination is different, due to different life experiences, it is hard to have
the exact same picture in mind, but to outline the emotions and ideas the media
text is desired to convey, o that everyone is on the same page will help the
flow and quality of the finished product. Editing wise I learned to consider
pace right from the start, since it is one of the main conductors of emotion
and tension in a media text, which has to be taken into consideration when
thinking about the clips motives and in the
upcoming thriller task.
