This document provides an edit decision list for the film "Purgatory" with descriptions for each shot used. Shots were selected based on composition, continuity of action, inclusion of credits, stability, lighting, effects used to disguise issues, needed story elements, actor reactions, and transitions. Technical issues like lack of leveling were also used where they added to desired disoriented effects. Filler shots and speed adjustments were used when needed to continue pace or hint at supernatural elements in the story.
Edit Decision List
- 1. Lewis Herd Edit Decision List - “Purgatory” ! Shot No. TAKE ! No. Length! (mm:ss) Why are you using this shot? 1 1 00:09.09 It was a nicely composed shot that established the setting. 2 2 00:05.03 It looked like a continuation of the previous shot, to continue the flow of the action. 3 4 00:06.17 The amount of negative space in this shot was suitable for the credit we wanted to include here. 4 2 00:12.02 The length of the tracking shot allowed us to include three credits. 5 5 00:02.06 After trying to get this shot several times, this was the smoothest and most stable. 6 3 00:03.04 This shot fit in best with the previous shot. 7 1 00:04.16 We liked the lighting and composition of this shot. It also worked well as a reaction shot after the low-battery one. 8 1 00:06.07 The black sky at the beginning of the shot shows that some time has passed since earlier in the film. 9 3 00:06.03 This shot was filmed at the wrong time but we used a few FCP effects layered on top of each other to disguise this and give a disoriented POV effect. 10 2 00:06.08 Same as previous, but with a security camera effect instead of POV. 11 3 00:05.14 This shot wasn’t level but it added to the disoriented effect so we kept it. 12 2 00:02.05 This was the smoothest tracking shot we were able to shoot. 13 3 00:02.17 The shakiness of this shot also added to the disoriented effect. 14 1 00:02.21 We needed a front-on view of the antagonists. 15 3 00:02.03 The shakiness of this shot also added to the disoriented effect. 16 5 00:04.10 We had to speed this shot up to continue the pace of the action. 17 1 00:04.03 We liked the zooming effect in this shot. 18 2 00:04.02 We composited two shots together here so that the display read ‘666’ - to hint at supernatural forces. 19 2 00:02.05 I used this shot for filler - we didn’t originally intend to use it. 20 3 00:03.15 The reaction of our actor fit well with the voice coming through the telephone. 21 4 00:01.14 This shot worked as a transition between the reaction shot and the final running shot. 22 2 00:08.23 We liked the imagery of the phone swinging and the out-of- focus running in the background.
