Editing prelim task

In editing we checked in by clicking on the settings circle into final cut server and clicked to checked in.  The log bin had all the shots and the rush bin had the shots we did not want. The shots on the time line had to be exactly in line with each other because otherwise there would be a gap in the film.

In editing I enjoyed creating a story with the shots.

One task I found challenging in the editing process was getting the text into the shots (as the actors were speaking Russian) because we had to line the text up in the right place on the screen and it had to stand out on the screen so the audience could read it. I found that matching the shots together was easy- showing both points of view, the 180 shot, close ups and wide shots.

I found some of the shots we filmed made the script easier during the editing process, for example, the close up of one of the actors leaving the scene made the story more tense. I would have told the actor to speak up as in editing we had to higher up the volume of his voice. I would also have put some non-diegetic noise in the some of the shots, for example dramatic music when the actor left the room.

I think our team worked really well together. I enjoyed hearing different points of view on what to use for editing.We all contributed towards the film, in editing I sorted the text out for the shots.
