Week 6 February 6th-10th

Editing 3


We have now got all of our shots planned in the right place on the timeline, it was now time to start doing the proper editing.


As we didn't really know where to start our editing as we had so many thought the logical thing that we decided to do was to start at the beginning of the sequence.


We had began with doing the continuity shot first along the sequence. Very early into the editing we hit a problem as we had realised one of the good continuity shot that we had of our character crossing a road had an implication to it. We had realised that in one shot there was a car and in the next when the tramp is crossing the car turns into a bicycle. We had spent a while trying to figure out what we could do to over come this and got teachers opinions. One of the alternatives was that we could have a blackout,with a credit or title name, in the exact moment when the car turn into a bike.


Once we had thought of all the alternatives to this situation we decided to move on to another part of the sequence as we were spending a lot of time on one part when there was still a lot more to still edit. We were going to come back to that problem with a fresh mind and new solution.


As we had shown our teacher what we had done so far, we came across a smaller problem as one of the extras in the sequence looked straight at the camera and we were unable to use that shot. We needed to look at the other alternative shots which we were going to now use.


By the end of the week we had began to get frustrated as we had hit a dead end to where to continue with the editing so we had thought of only editing certain bits of the sequence that we wanted to instead of doing it in a particular order.
