To be able to get some practice in before we film our thriller we were given a task to make a short film called Show me, Don't tell me. The rules with this are there is not to be any dialogue throughout and also eventually when we started editing we had to use sound effects to replace the fact there was not sound. The reason we were asked to use no dialogue was to practise certain skills. These skills were editing and using sound effects when editing. If there is no dialogue then there needs to be sounds effect otherwise the audience would get bored and wouldn't understand what is going on. As well as that without dialogue you need to rely on the fact that visual images will have to move your film on because normally dialogue does it for you. Show, don't tell me basically is where you show the audience what you want to portray without actually using words this then gives them a better insight into what you actually want to show. Below I will embed my versions of the final thing.
In my opinion I was not happy with my final product. The filming and footage was good but my editing needs some work as I have put two of the same clips in as well as not put some of the sound effects in the right place. Overall I need to do some work to this and then I will hopefully be happy with it.
The next post will be ... Show, Don't Tell me Feedback and Evaluation.
