The preliminary task and lessons involving editing have been very insightful for me.
I have found that continuity is a vital 'piece of the puzzle', [final desired product], because it helps create a believable flow of the narrative.
I have also understood that editing is vital; as a TV Drama, Film, Animation or Advert generally use editing to give the episode, scene or clip a smooth finish.
Editing means that you can 'mix and match' different sections of your scenes, clips or episodes together, add non-diagetic sounds, change the colours etc. This can change an audiences interpretation of the product result. However, it can also confuse an audience. The editor/s have to be very careful that they do not do this.
The whole production team is involved and responsible for the final product, everyone must know how the storyline goes and which clip goes where; otherwise it will just 'go to pieces'.
Communication is vital in any production; if there is a break in communication the whole production may be in jeopardy.
If this happens and a production does not meet it's desired audience criteria or ratings then they may have to 're-write' the production, to meet the needs of the audience, or cancel the Series, Film, Animation or TV Drama mid-way. However, some fortunate productions have just had a bad review and manage to 're-write'.
I may have gotten a little carried away into my 'element', but overall I have described what I am increasingly understanding as the course goes on.
Thanks for reading,
Until the next entry :)
