Grade 11 > The Action Video > Cutting on Action
One editing technique which is frequently employed in videos is cutting on action. This is when an action is shot from 2 different angles and seamlessly put together in the editing process.
It can be done in one of 2 ways. You can set up 2 cameras at different angles and film the same action once. Or, you can use one camera and film from one angle, repeat the exact same action and film again from a different angle. You will be doing it the second way.
What must you pay attention to when filming with one camera when cutting on action? You have to be aware of where the person is at all times and you have to repeat the action exactly the same way when filming from a different angle.
In the film industry, there is someone who is on set called a script supervisor who looks for all these details so that when something is being filmed, everything is done consistently. That way, there are no gaps in continuity when editing. Without this consistency editing can be a nightmare.
You will use DSLR cameras to film the storyboard provided for you. You will be assessed on your accuracy and how you use the video cameras.
