APD Week 9 Force

Theme: force

Method: Editing in Sony Vegas with some vedios I took with my cellphone. I recorded about 10 short vedio that I open or close a door in front another door. Then I picked two of them and tried to find a cut point to merge them together visually.

Context:

I was inspired by some magic vedio made by editting  and I found that they usually use the motion blur or camera shake to edit different film footage together to create an illusion that they are the same shot.

Response:

Although I tried to keep my cellphone steady but without a tripod it is not easy to keep the camera and composition similar in different footages, so I tried to simulate the “force” with which I closed the door. at the monment the door is totally closed, I create  a camera shake and I add a fast zoom in to make the feeling of the speed even stronger. So even the composition can not be matched perfectly, I think the final vedio seems kind of convincing. In my studio projects, I tried to cut several of my different works together, this practise help me understand more about editting.
