The Ellipsis - Editing Journal

This is a video journal showing how I created the Ellipsis scene within River. This ellipsis scene is inspired by Edgar Wright as in many of his films, he exaggerates specific sometimes meaningless actions to make the scene look more interesting. Here  is an example of this type of scene.

Most of the audio in River was unusable, this was due to the immense wind speed on certain days. This meant that we had to go through each scene and record dubs of the lines spoken by each character. This process didn't take up too much time but it was tedious, we had written down each line that needed to be recorded and we asked our actors to say the line in time with the footage of the scenes.

By using the "Z rule" we can see that the poster shows all of it's most important information and imagery in accordance to this rule. The actor's names appear at the top and this allows the viewer to see who is in the film first before they read the rest of the poste...
