Mac 5 have now almost finished filming (we hope) and we are about to begin editing! We have been researching movies with effective editing techniques. Black Swan (2010) is a perfect example of a psychological thriller in which shots have been manipulated to create a strange atmosphere. Here are a few I could find which are really effective in emphasizing the disturbance of the character:
I really like the fast-paced turn of the camera from 0:05-0:07 as it reflects the characters twisted thoughts, and I also really love Winona Ryder.
This is one of my favourite scenes because it is quite shocking for the viewer, and the use of the mirror to show more than one of Nina represents her multiple personalities. We really like the idea of creating layers showing more than one figure of our character to create a similar effect. We have already tried a similar technique out and we love the way it looks! It can be found under the 'editing practice' label on my blog.
The turning of the camera, and unsteady shot in this scene is really effective. We have filmed a shot in which the camera orbits around our actress and we would like to manipulate it in order to change settings - this clip helps us visualize how this would could be achieved.
This is a really inspirational movie in terms of editing, but also it terms of sound. Throughout the movie, we can frequently hear Nina's breathing over all the other sounds in the background. This is something we could think about when it comes to sound in our own opening.
Here is the full official trailer:
