Video Editing Exercise

This is a short video made in an editing workshop. We were given pre-recorded footage of martial arts and were told to edit it into an action scene. Rather than going for a quick and confusing action sequence that is commonly seen in modern day blockbusters my partner and myself opted for a slower and more drawn out scene, reminiscent of the old wild west movies. In addition to the twenty second time limit we had to add at least one shot which incorporated a split screen, ours replicates the kind of shot commonly used in anime; two opponents face each other before making their advance to the fight.

Overall I'm pleased that the video looks this good given the short amount of time and the criteria we had to work by.
