5 Master Shots
This assignment taught me the complexity of filming. I was able to appreciate the five master edits better by creating my own versions of each. For contrast , my partner and I filmed each other. The shots go back and forth between an organized, productive student to a disorganized, confused one. Contrast edits distinguish two shots very well because they are shown right after each other, and emphasize the difference. Our version of parallelism follows two people walking. They have the same stride and are walking in a similar setting of a hallway. Eventually they run into each other after several alternating shots.
