The Editing Process


As well as choosing the soundtrack, today we also began the editing process. As a whole group we all sat down and looked at all the current footage we have filmed. This took a little longer than expected and after thoroughly looking at the whole clip we chose the specific shots that we wanted to use for our final opening clip. Although our ideal goal was to have nearly the whole clip edited by the end of the day, this was not accomplished.

Once we began to look over the clips we immediately noticed some continuity errors present. This had an effect on the way our work was being perceived. After trying to correct these errors with fades/cuts we have decided that the wise choice will be to re-film these shots in order to achieve the high standard we are aiming for. Even though we encountered problems today, it hasn't all gone to waste. The good news is that the scene that we will be re-filming is the less time consuming and most of our footage is successful, most importantly it is usable! We aim to re-shot the scene in the Easter break where we will have enough time to mend these mistakes.
