We worked on our "Text to Film" task today, making a short film based on the poem "Poison Tree" by William Blake. Our director decided to take the more literal approach in adapting and interpreting the poem, while portraying the theme of betrayal and vengeance through the different shots and angles (e.g low angle was used to suggest the menace of the antagonist).As the editor, I assembled the footage onto the timeline in chronological order and cropped out certain clips to achieve continuity editing. Due to the limitations in time and resources, our footage was odd dimensional-wise and shaky (it was very narrow due to the camera settings of an iPhone and we could not borrow a tripod in the given time). However, I tried my best under the given circumstances, and used a variety of effects and transitions to enhance the footage. For example, a ripple dissolve was employed to foreshadow the flashback, while "vignette" and "defocus" was applied to the reminiscing sequences.
