The Top Five Films - The Oscars 2025, 97th Academy Awards
There were so many elements to consider in this series of Oscars VT's, and I had a lot of fun editing them from start to finish. My aim was to really capture the essence of each film and make the VT's compelling and comprehensive in their conciseness so that the audience would come away feeling that they had a really good sense of the film, even if they hadn't seen it. I ensured that I chose clips that matched the voiceover description perfectly and tracks that set the tone of each section, to pull you in visually and emotionally. I particularly enjoyed editing the opening montages, cutting to the music with the aim to grip the viewer straight away.
This VT 'The Top Five Films' delves a little deeper into the 5 films that received the most nominations this year. These were: Emilia Pérez, The Brutalist, Wicked, A Complete Unknown and Conclave.
