Editing - Day 2

In the second editing session we set about continuing the good process made in the previous session. Early on we finalised some of the walking shots and made them more crisp and snappy and even visualised possible places in the frame that we could queue our titles. We then tried to do some more work on the fighting scene which is of course the key moment of our sequence. We wanted to break this section up into short snappy cuts to make it impactful and frightening. However, despite making decent progress with this method in the previous session we struggled. Because of the dialogue differences in different takes we got ourselves into a bit of a muddle. The clips became very disjointed in the sequence and we decided that for this section it would in fact be better to revert back to what we had saved before this and start moving forward again. This was of course frustrating but it was not a failure. In relation to editing, we learnt to be slightly more cautious when adding different footage in order to not loose track. We also got a demonstration of why always saving your progress is vital.
