Rationale

After watching the French film “Amelie”, I wanted to incorporate the style of Magical Realism. By making my film “Skin Deep” I was able to incorporate some of the stylistic devices from “Amelie” such as color correction and the genre of romantic comedy. My plan was to film for 4 days and edit one scene each day; then on the last day of editing make the final touches and edit the sound effects. This project was a good idea because it shows how well students can incorporate different film techniques in their individual films. Also by students having to edit their own films it shows each students strengths and weaknesses as an editor.
