Editing

Jess, Lauren and myself began the editing process today for our film. We are missing around three scenes but we are filming them tomorrow so thought that it was best to begin editing the scenes that we had.

After some initial editing and shooting of scenes, we then had all the footage that we needed to begin the full editing process. Although we only needed a rough copy for the presentation as the film was not in until the following Friday, we wanted it to look the best that we could. 

In the editing process we came across the problem of the fact our actors weren't as suited to the roles as we thought that they were going to be. This made our footage less realistic and didn't really contribute well to the vision that we had at the start of making the project. Although we had no time to recast and reshoot, so we were determined to make the best film as possible from the footage that we could.

Synching sound was hard, because even though we weren't being marked on sound we wanted our piece to be of a high quality. But often we found that our foley sounds did not fit in well with the images playing on screen.

Colour correction was also a problem that we had to overcome, as we realised quickly that sometimes, shots that we wanted back to back did not match due to the amount of green visible in the frame. Our indoor shoots worked well in colour correction however, although there was a small amount of grain that we were unable to erase in our lighting change scene.
