Editing Day 5

In this editing session we decided to edit the two scenes of where Emily the main antagonist character is walking home drunk, and walks into her house to pick up the photo of her ‘absent mother’, then we also decided to edit the scene where she and her boyfriend climb over the school gate and meet up, they are having some sort of domestics and arguing, and Emily then goes to ring the boy from the other night that she met.

When editing the scene where Emily comes home drunk and disorderly, we came to a fault in our filming, we hadn’t noticed that when she first drops the photo of her in a long shot she is stood completely still and once we shot the close up of the picture falling she is stepping backwards. We also filmed the photo being broken on the floor, however, this shot didn’t work particularly well with the others so we had to erase that. However, it took a lot of trial and error to fix this as we tried to crop it and see if the scene would look better without it, but then I came up with the idea that we could blade it to make it jumpier, but look more realistic, I also added a slow motion to it, this creating more of a meaningful emotion as to when she drops the photo fame.  

When we editing the scene of her and her boyfriend climbing over the school gate and her dropping the school work to represent her negative attitude towards school. The close ups that Jess had filmed of the book falling were not great due to the weather and the type of shot we were trying to complete, however Jess did get a great shot of the paper blowing away in the wind and when editing I informed jess to use the blade tool as it will make it seem more conventional to an Indie rock, this also helped to fit well with the music, we added a slow motion affect to also represent the papers flying away was to represent her life and her negative passion that she had towards school.  We also had edited the scene of where the main character once met her boyfriend, they go and sit down at a pub, and suddenly start to argue, we included a vast amount of shot types in this scene such as, over the shoulder, match on action, wide shot and a long shot. This allowed us to experiment with the different shots and angles that I had previously filmed. Jess placed these shots together using the blade and crop tool, this worked perfectly. I am happy with how the sessions are going so far.
