Category: Editing

Objectives:

To learn to use editing software in a fun way / To be aware that any image can be manipulated and associated with a new meaning / To become aware of the impact of sound and music on the perception of images.

Short Description:

Editing is a re-creation. With identical material – images and sounds – we can produce different films, with different messages. This activity will allow you to play with this material to change the meaning of the images (in particular through the use of sound)

Module:

Module 2 > chapiter 3 > section 6

Duration

120 minutes

Number of participants

Up to 10

  • Computer(s) with editing software and internet connection
  • Listening device (speakers or earphones)
  • Screening equipment such as a projector or Chromecast monitor.

Description step by step

  • Before the workshop, import the Paddington Trailer file onto each computer available for the activity. You should also learn how to use the editing software (in particular, slow motion and fast motion effects, visual effects on the images, and possibly sound effects).
  • Show the group the Scary Mary trailer video. Compare it to the original film trailer.
  • Facing the screen, you demonstrate the basic editing operations on the software to your participants.
  • Then allocate the group members to each available computer.
  • Each sub-group has the task of transforming the Paddington film trailer into a horror film trailer. They can add titles, visual effects, or sounds.
  • Help each group that encounters a technical problem, and help them to find media on the Internet that they would like to integrate (music, sound effects, etc.)
  • Once the exercise is over, each group exports its trailer and the screening can begin. Which one will be the most terrifying?
