Editing the Preliminary Task

Now we had captured all the shots we needed, we were able to begin editing.


We begun editing by removing the shots that were not going in the scene, then cut down the shots we did want until we had the basic scene. However, some of the shots we first agreed would make the best cuts broke continuity, so we had to use other shots that we had taken when filming to compose the scene.


We then began cutting the shots together to create a seamless scene that displayed a shot/ reverse shot, match on action, and the 180 degree rule.


Unfortunately, we did not have enough time to re-shoot the shots that we wanted to, so we feel that the Preliminary Task suffered, and was not as good as it could have been. But, the scene contains all the aspects the brief required, so we feel it was successful.


The next post contains the final Preliminary Task.
