Editing day 4

Today we completed the next session of our editing.

When we were editing on day number four we just continued to put together clips of Emily in order to develop more of a narrative structure.
In this editing session we started to place together the scenes where Emily is ringing and getting texts from the boy that she had previously woke up in the bed with the night before. This scene was only meant to be a short period of the music. However, I filmed a vast amount of footage from different angles so we could experiment with our editing skills. I found this slightly easy to complete when editing the footage as I used the crop tools to shorten the shots down to fit in the space that we needed, I also mention to Jess that when Emily has her phone out her lock background was a photo of her in a pretty dress with her friends, I decided to try and crop this out as I thought it would ruin the whole ‘corrupted’ vibe that we wanted, successfully I removed the background therefore this kept the representation of her not caring to how we wanted it.

Also, we edited the scene where she is leaving her house, as well as having previously filmed a lot of footage it allowed us to pick and choose what we best thought would fit where. Jess fitted these scenes together, she used the trim tool, I advised that we added a slow motion to the clip as she is walking out to create a sense of meaning to why she was leaving. This I believe worked very well and we will continue in the next editing session we have on fitting more of the narrative into the video.
