Diary of Editing - Day 7 ~ William Dixon

Today we put the first two shots of the stop motion on. What we didn't realise was that the stop motion clips were not widescreen, but Jess managed to zoom in and that corrected it, but also it didn't ruin the shot. As it became clear that we didn't have much time left for filming brand new shots all the time, I decided to "reuse" some shots but in a way to fit the narrative. I repeated the clips but to the beat of the song so it created a loop effect, like DJ's use. With another shot, where the puppet turns towards the camera, I used an effect called flop which mirrors the shots. This created a turn around effect which when looped and in time with the music, looked very effective.
