Given the brief of using jump cuts to create illusions, we chose to edit to a soundtrack of the popular Wii theme tune as it was easy to define the beats in which to do the cuts to, creating the illusion of people appearing and disappearing to the tune. For this we had a camera setup in the corner of the room facing to the other corner so the front of the room wasn't in shot allowing for a free space to use for holding props and keeping the actors out of shot, as well as making it safer to shoot stopping people from tripping over the tripod legs. the only health and safety risk we came across was when stacking things on tables like rolling chairs etc, but that was overcome by making sure we marked out where we were putting things. I feel like I could improve the video by adding more jump cuts to the beat when there are longer durations between cuts to stop the video from looking weird, however after getting feedback from the clip I was told that it made audience members laugh, showing that I got engagement from the audience and when doing a group critical analysis of the clip we agreed it was creative, we had Thought of sound first for ease of editing we used a tripod to make sure the camera didn’t move so we had a stable image however it was slightly out of focus, wasn’t the best footage, due to the exporting process so maybe we needed to use a different clip type.
