Editing #1

I met up with Alli at her house to check up on how the video editing was working out. She showed me the first episode that she had edited and we watched it twice. The first time I watched it for enjoyment and the second time I looked at everything more critically to see what needed to be corrected. Alli uses IMovie on her computer and it works wonders. She was able to put a marble background onto the footage of the interviews. It makes the video more elegant and more like the Kardashians. We also picked backround music and special effects for specific scenes. I never really noticed how much music can change what the audience thinks and to enhance the audiences viewing experience. For example when Hamlet is talking to himself and Polonius is behind a curtain trying to figure out why Hamlet is acting so strange, you can see Polonius' feet. When the camera shifts from Hamlet to the feet the music changes into a mysterious tone which really adds to the whole idea that Polonius is spying on Hamlet. This change in music also adds to the similarities of our Hamlet interpretation and the reality show Keeping up with the Kardashians.
