Editing my Showreel.

I enjoyed completing this task, because it gave me the opportunity to look back over past work and I was able to see how my technical skills have developed over the two years. But then it came to selecting the parts I wanted to include within my final show reel, there was quite a few scenes from various projects I had done but some were far too long for the time limit I had – One Minute.
I decided I wanted my showreel to show I can work on a variety of different genres and my skills are not limited to just one area; so I chose to include a short clip from my documentary ‘A Guide Dog Puppy in Training’ to show my abilities in producing and editing documentary style programmes. To show my editing abilities I chose to include a music video I had edited together ‘Wake Up – Montage of Images’ as I felt it showed the different types of programmes I could edit – again showing I wasn’t limited to one area. I decided to include a scene from the music video where effects had been used the reason I chose to include this scene was to add a more effective and appealing element to my showreel.

I then wanted to include some clips showing my drama genre skills. I chose to include a fast past scene from ‘Escape’ a drama I co wrote, directed and edited with Aleicia. The reason I chose to include the running scene was it changed the pace of my showreel making it more entertaining to watch. I also included a dramatic ending from my multi-platform film ‘One Day…’ This scene was very short but I feel it had an effective ending to my showreel.
