I posted my first H!P Edgic in the
Dot Bikini thread, now here's one for
Chotto Matte Kudasai Again, explaination first:
Edgic = editing + logic.
Based on Edgic at Survivor Sucks forum, except modified for idol PVs instead of a reality TV show.
Possible ratings:
INV - 'invisible'
UTR - 'under the radar'
MOR - 'middle of the road'
CE - 'complimentary edit' (at Sucks this is 'complex personality' which doesn't quite fit idol MVs)
OTT - 'over-the-top' (this could probably be changed to something else, but it basically means the lead)
Also ranking visibility 1-5.
I changed my counting of solo shots a bit. The first number is how many clear solo shots they had, as in nobody else was around. The second number is when you add other focused shots, like when they are dancing but the camera only focuses on one member; others are around but only one member is in focus. (Shots where focus changes from member to member didn't count.)
Again, solo lines counted as one solo shot even if there were several shots used during the line. I do this because they are getting the visibility for having a solo line and the shots are connected to the solo line.
DAWA
Solo shots: 6/7
Solo lines: 4
Along with Kanon has the biggest number of clear solo shots. Central dancing position. The first member shown doing the *splat* against window close-up; possibly the advance of being the leader, but that's speculation. Has the 3rd most lines along with Meimei: clearly fewer than Kanon, but clearly more than Kananan and Rinapuu.
-> CE1
KANYON
Solo shots: 6/9
Solo lines: 7
Central dancing position, complex edits during solo lines.
Has the most solo shots, even in group shots is often focused on. Has clearly the biggest number of solo lines.
-> OTT1
MEIMEI
Solo shots: 2/6
Solo lines: 4
Central dancing position, is the first member after Dawa to go *splat*. Which may not mean anything.
Even during her solo lines, Meimei often has to share the screen with other members behind her. A very low number of clear solo shots.
She had as many solo lines as Dawa, but a smaller visibility.
-> MOR5
TAKECHAN
Solo shots: 5/8
Solo lines: 5
Central dancing position. Has the 2nd most solo lines and 2nd most shots including the focus group ones. High visibility, but not as varied editing as in Dot Bikini.
-> CE4
KANANAN
Solo shots: 2/4
Solo lines: 1
Only two clear solo shots, two more in focus in a group.
However, Kananan here benefits from the choreography that points her out as the clumsy one, giving her special visibility even when everyone is on screen. It's very rare for a member to get a tailor-made choreography.
-> MOR1
RINAPUU
Solo shots: 3
Solo lines: 1
Had one more clear solo shot than Kananan, however, was never focused on in a group. Since everyone got at least one solo line this time, having a line doesn't improve her edgic.
-> UTR1
I'm not certain about all of these
Difficult to decide sometimes.
Random pondering so far, based on both "Chotto Matte Kudasai" and "Dot Bikini": I didn't realize Kanyon was leading the group this clearly. I also didn't realize how big Takechan's part had become; somehow I thought Meimei was up there instead. This is how bias warps our perception :3 Dawa seems to have a comfortable leader position; she's getting good exposure even if she doesn't get nearly as many lines as Kanyon. Kananan and Rinapuu are supporting members, but Kananan is more likely to get a little special visibility because of her funny character.
