Task 10: Editing the Confrontation

Filming the fight scene was probably the most challenging part of the overall short film. This is because we needed to ensure that it was fast paced to create tension and emulate the emotions that would go through the character during a fight. One way we did this is by speeding up the clips slightly. This allowed for the impact to look more severe and added to the intensity of the scene. We had to make sure we only sped it up slightly because if the percentage was over 120% the footage started to look choppy. One way we could have overcome this was to film in 60 frames per second, however we were unsure whether the JVC camera had this ability. Fortunately, only a small percentage increase was required so the overall affect was successful in my opinion.
