EDITING

Due to equipment availability, Tash was most capable to edit our film on her Mac at home. For this reason, she has been given the most credit towards this section of the film production, however me and Robbie helped to edit when this Mac was brought into school and we also pitched ideas to refine certain aspects.This had advantages as the film opening went through three pairs of eyes who had ways to improve instead of one long session with all three of us editing which risked us all being too protective over our favourite parts.

What we felt went well

1. It was easy to be able to get it too look how we wanted it too look, with the framing and sequencing of the shots. Our framing was particularly worked on to ensure that the film ran smoothly.
2. With our shots they had enough extra filming around it to play around with it. We made time to film extra which made it easier to merge scenes and allow us extra footage just in case.
3. There were some really good places to insert the credits like the tie and the fridge shots. This was one of our main features that we wished to add from the beginning. We managed to follow the storyboard with accuracy because of this.

What was difficult when editing: 

1. When Tash did the first edit of the whole opening it was 3 and a half minutes long meaning it was over by 1 minute. We had to be harsher when removing scenes, insuring that we kept shots essential to the plot as well as the ones we were most proud of. Talking together it was hard to decide what we would cut. By this stage we didn't have any excess footage to delete except the content of the opening edited together, however we decided to cut the first section with the police cars and Robbie running through the door. We also changed where we would have the voice over.
2. The colour in some of the shots didn't work too well as we filmed part of it during the day and part in the evening, however now we are not using that bit we don't need to use the parts where the dark was necessary. Before hand, we attempted to do a colour match to line up the colours of the shots.
3. Tash remembered we had filmed this section again but during the day so there was available footage to play around with.
