Editing Technique Plan 

Simultaneity: This is where there are two scenes, which are in two different locations, and the camera will cut from one action to another, 

Leit Motif: A leitmotif is a "short, constantly recurring musical phrase" associated with a particular person, place, action or idea. 

Contrast Editing: This is where the viewer or audience is forced to compare two opposing scenes. 

Parallelism: Parallelism is when there are two or more scenes, which are very similar to each other but mean something because they are different. 

Symbolism: Symbolism is when you are moving from a scene to something else, which can create symbolic connection for the audience 

 

Homelessness 

Sean- Homeless 

Paige and Kennedy - Home 

Victor- Used to be Homeless  

 

 

 

 

Scene 2 (Parallelism) 

Scene flips to a flashback to where Victor a now rich kid used to be homeless  

Scene walks through how victor put in the work to get a job and build himself back from being homeless  

Scene goes to Sean just laying and begging for money 

(The difference in the meaning of Sean's homelessness and Victors is that although they are similar Victor put the effort into getting out of his situation while Sean just sits there and begs other people to help him.) 

Scene 3 (Symbolism + Leitmotif) 

Victor walks up to Sean to tell him about how he escaped homelessness 

Paige says get a job  

Sean says I cant 

Sean and victor keep talking  

Paige says get a job  


Sean says I cant 

Repeat x3 

 

 

 

THIS SENDS A MESSAGE OF HOW HARD WORK CAN GET SOMEONE FAR AND IF THEY PUT THE EFFORT IN AND HOW its seans fault that hes homeless because he chooses not to change his situation

Questions:

1. What was your inspiration for the video?

The inspiration for the video was the homeless people in New York and the downfalls of alcoholism.

2. What was the most challenging thing about the project?

The most challenging part of the project was initially coming up with a plot because it takes a lot of creativity, and it is very difficult to make sure that the story flows and makes sense. 

3. What did you enjoy most about the project?

The thing I enjoyed most about the project was getting to see the final results because it proved that all of our work put together made something great.

4. What was your role in your project?

The role I had in my project was writing a majority of the story line as well as being an actor.

5. S.W.O.

Strength: One strength that I had in this project was coming up with and writing the story.

Weaknesses: A weakness that I had was my acting because every time we tried to do a scene I would start laughing.

Opportunities: One thing that I did better on than I was expecting was making the story make sense and making sure that it did not sound choppy or uncomplete
