Cutting_ Introduction

Film editing may be compared with cutting, polishing and mounting a diamond. A diamond in the rough state is barely recognizable. The raw diamond must be cut, polished and mounted so that its inherent beauty can be fully appreciated. In the same way, a film story is a jumble of odd shots until, like the diamond, it is cut, polished and mounted. Both diamond and film are enhanced by what is removed! What remains tells the story.

Only good editing can bring life to a motion picture! The various shots are just so many odd pieces of film until they are skillfully assembled to tell a coherent story. Cutting takes up the slack in the film, by removing all superfluous footage: false starts, overlaps, unnecessary entrances and exits, extra scenes,duplicated action, bad takes. What is left must be woven into a continuous narrative; to present the screen story in a manner that captures audience interest and holds attention from opening scene to final fade-out.

Composition- Animation in Screen

I have resolved the problem about motion textures that I can use them in the proper time. It is very important for expressing my project in the narrative, and the render is going well. I will finish it in 3 days.

Let me take shot_07- shot_12 for instance.

Screen Animation 01

Screen Animation 02

The alarm is warnning and then he goes there to shut down it. The monitor is working sudenly that both of Screen Animation 01 and 02 in those two big screen. The 01 is the monitor to analise the distance of the UFO and 02 is scanning as well as analysing its structure. From the Screen Animation 02 the audience could understand the little ball is recyclable. They could easily understand the glassman operating the computer to recycle it.

The glassman click on the buttons to activate the recycle system.

This close-up is highlighting the action which will make the audience curious what will happen.

 From the Screen Animation 03 the audience could know the spaceship is recycling the little ball.

Then the little ball is moved to the cockpit by lift.

Capture Shot19

The little creature found it is scanned by infrared ray from the screen and it jumped out of its small spaceship near the glassman. It looked at him and then they were watching the screen together. The screen showed it is not an identified creature.
