Editing Lesson 2

Editing Lesson 2

 

 

 

During our second editing lesson, we immediately began to shape our thriller by placing the clips into the order we wanted. We did not focus on making clean cuts or making the sequence run smoothly but instead on the order of shots. Later we will be able to finalise the cuts but during the beginning it has helped us get an idea of what our piece will look like.

 

We began with the business man as we decided this would be the better sequence to start with. As we had labelled each clip with the exact content of the footage it was easy to place the clips in the correct order. Although we use our story board for guidance we did re arrange the shot order so that it flowed in a more succinct manner. We discussed as a group how to put together our piece and we worked well as a team and had very few arguments!

By the end of the lesson our whole sequence was placed in order so that we could go back and finalise each cut later.
