Technical evaluation
Fade is a transition which gradually disappears, it is a very good way to start movies especially if you're looking to create a static moment. Transition can be used anywhere but you need to decide carefully.
Creating Juxtaposition (Convention)
Creating juxtaposition is when you decide to have two scenes which are the opposite, by this i mean it what you want expect and often does not make any sense as it creates two different moods.
Creating juxtaposition has been used in my short movie because at 0:12 we see that the protagonist is angry and then we see antagonist is enjoying the normal life, this is too opposite scenes and we see that they do not have any relevance but that is the whole point as the audience get to know at as the movie goes along. The intention of the directors is that they want to make the audience ask questions and think why they have put that specific scene there at that specific time. This makes the audience more keen to watch the whole movie.
Effective Pacing
Convey information effectively is whether the editing has been clear and whether the movie actually shows the story effectively, by this i mean does the audience understand clearly.
I have used this technique for example in my short movie at 0:17 we see the actor who is angry and then punches the sofa, this helps convey that he is angry and is going to be seeking revenge. The director intention is that by conveying information effectively it allows the audience to enjoy it more as they understand the story line more which is very important for the director. The impact this technique has on the audience is that it makes it a lot easier for them to understand.
Use Sound to Create Impact
Sound to create impact is when you use sound to your advantage and it makes it more dramatic for the audience to watch and it entertains the audience more in a sense, this will make them watch the whole movie.
I have used sound to create impact at the very beginning which is around 0:02 when we see the actor enter the home then we see very drama sound being used to create a specific mood as the actor reads a suicide note which his sister has wrote. The intention of the director is that the may use this technique to make a specific moment dramatic and make the audience feel empathy for the actor. The audience think more as the sound is dramatic which tells them something serious has happened.
Synchronise Sound and Vision
Synchronise Sound and Vision is when you change the sound depending on what is on the screen, this can be by cutting to the beat, this is where the audience thinks and tries mixing the sound depending on scene or clip.
I have used the above technique in my short movie because at 0.50 we see the music i had from the beginning stops and then new sound starts at 1:12, this allows the tension to build as the audience think why the sound has gone but we wanted to create tension as the actor breaks in to another persons house. The director intention is that they want to make sure that they want to create tension or make the audience aware of something important which is taking place.
Mix soundtrack is when the editor decides two different sound, by this i mean that they would be different sound or music, this is done so that it creates a tense moment or if you want to create different moods.
i used this technique in my short movie at 0:50 when the music stops and then we have another music at 1:19 this creates makes it a lot more entertaining to watch and fun to watch. The directors intention when using this technique was that they wanted to make sure that the music actually matched the vision which they were showing. The impact this has on the audience is that they will be more entertained as it keep the movie flowing faster this makes them watch all of it.
Overlap sound is when you decide to have two different sounds playing sound together this can be if the character is speaking having background music, this helps the ultra short movie be more entertaining to watch for the audience as it can get bored if the scene is just people talking.
Online
editing is when you do it through an digital editing program. Offline editing
is when the you do use a digital item,
this can be the script as it is often handwritten
Offline and online editing was used by me because in order to create a short film you have to do both. Offline editing we used is when we first imported the clips we had to complete a rushes log where we said the clip number, how long it lasted, what it was of and if we discard the video or not. The reason why director and editor uses the rushes log because they want to know where each clip are and what it is of so it can be easier for them. Online editing is when you use digital software, this is when i used the final cut pro to edit the actual short film.
On screen text is when the editor adds graphics which are words, in most ultra short movies they include the title which is considered as on screen text, also they also tend to have the credits which tell the audience who has created the short movie.
I have used on screen text at 0:20 in my short movie as i wanted to let the audience know the name of the ultra short movie. The on screen text allows the audience get more detail which is important for the audience as they can recommend the movie also. The director has done this so they can get information which the audience may need by this i mean maybe the directors name to watch other movies which the same director has used.
Image editing is when you change an image, this can be done by different software it helps create mood. Image editing is done by online editing systems to make the image look up to professional standard.
i used image editing in this short movie as i changed certain images, for example at 0:05 we see the image colour changed as i wanted to show that was in the past, i think i was very successful as the audience understood that it was in the past. The intention of the director is that image editing helps them make the movie a lot more realistic and it helps the director send a mood. This makes it a lot more realistic for the audience to watch.
Audio Editing
Audio editing is when you may cut the audio and change the place or you may change the sound level at times when you think the movie will need it to match the theme of the movie or specific part of the movie.
Montage (Technique)
Montage is when you put different footage together, by this i mean that there are range of shots from a different seen or place, this technique is used so they keep the audience interested and special used in scenes which are long and dragging.
An example of this is above from my ultra short movie, as you can see above at 0:23 to 0:29 the is a montage of the protagonist getting ready, we see the camera moves to different positions which means that they are from different footage. Montage allows the audience to watch the film quicker because it allows scenes like above get boring after time, this is why film makers may use this technique so they can keep the attention of the audience, also i think film makers think that it makes it look a lot more exciting

Fade (Transition)
An example of fade will be from my ultra short movie at the start of the movie you will see a fade into the movie, this is the best place i thought i could put a fade as it gradually goes to the start of the film, creates a static moment. This transition would be used to give the film a nice flow and it makes the audience know it is a start or end of the story, this is why film makers may use it.

This makes the audience more keen to watch the whole movie.
Effective Pacing
Effective pacing how fast or slow specific scenes are, this is usually done so that it creates tension or gives a larger detail which they want the audience, effective pacing is usually done when editing as they can make the clips faster or slower.
I have used this technique in my short film as you can see at 0:23 i have made the clips a lot faster to keep the aduience entertained as you can see the actor is getting ready which can take long but by cutting the and making them faster more entertain to watch. The intention of the director is that effective pacing helps them create a mood and it allows them to make specific scenes more dramatic because if a specific scene is slower it allows the audience to have greater detail.
Convey Information Effectively
I have used this technique for example in my short movie at 0:17 we see the actor who is angry and then punches the sofa, this helps convey that he is angry and is going to be seeking revenge. The director intention is that by conveying information effectively it allows the audience to enjoy it more as they understand the story line more which is very important for the director.

i used this technique in my short movie at 0:50 when the music stops and then we have another music at 1:19 this creates makes it a lot more entertaining to watch and fun to watch.

The impact this has on the audience is that they will be more entertained as it keep the movie flowing faster this makes them watch all of it.
Overlap Sound
I have used this technique above in my short film at 1:19 because we see the background music is still playing while the actors are speaking, i chose to do this because i thought some of the audience may get bored so by having overlap sound it will allow the audience to be more entertained. The intention of the director is that they want to make sure that the audience do not get bored and some director use it too make it dramatic as it depends what kind of background music you use.
Offline editing/online editing
On Screen Text
I have used on screen text at 0:20 in my short movie as i wanted to let the audience know the name of the ultra short movie. The on screen text allows the audience get more detail which is important for the audience as they can recommend the movie also.

Audio Editing
I have used audio editing at 0:50 because we cut it and lowered the sound level to make sure that it ends very nicely with a nice flow, this means me editing the audio, also i had edited the sound level of the clips as i wanted it to match the background music as i did not want to make it too loud. The intention when the director using this technique is that they want to change the music depending on the vision.
