DESTINATION

SORRY :( I deactivated the video already. Regretfully, you cannot view the film anymore.

Before Update...

Draft Film I'm leaving up for two days for critique!!!

Please let me know if this video still needs some touchups? Any suggestions on what to add or take away? I feel like it's incomplete and I can't point my finger at what...

Three most important rules of editing;

Emotion

Story

Rhythm

Emotion is the most crucial aspect of film. Even if it means to sacrifice Story and/or Rhythm, do so. Some films don't make sense yet have good Emotions and the audience can still enjoy viewing it. Story is the next important step. When you edit, make sure your film makes sense, a film that has a plot. Rhythm is third important step, have your film flow with Rhythm. When you are putting your scenes together, ask yourself, "do each raw footage attract (add) to your film or subtract?" 

A good editor do not only edit with rules but with personality. When you pour your heart out editing, you are doing it right; you are being emotional towards your footage. That is the beauty of Art, no rules!

The last three important steps are Eye-Tracing, 2D Placement Screen and 2D Space of Action.
