Editing

So last Friday editing got well underway. To do this we are using the same software as we used for the previous filming we did, it is Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0 which belongs in the Adobe CS4 package. We have actually pretty much edited down 15 minutes of footage into about 2 minutes. Now we have to match everything up and make sure that it all fits. We want to use alot of our footage however it was hard choosing the scen or section that we wanted to keep. We had to do this because we filmed each scene about twice but the angle may have slightly changed or the actor may have moved and we needed to keep continuity throughout the whole opening. I started the editing of Pursuer, I cut out all the out-takes and bad footage. Then I started to get down to the part whereby we have to match everything up and make sure it all fits. This is the bit that takes the time. Because you think you have done it and then you get to a bit whereby you realise that actually you have to cut it there instead of where you cut it previously for example. But I think overall it turned out to be very succesful on Friday seing as it was our first attempt at editing. I think that after we have finished editing we may show it to a few people and see how they think we did. Seeing as we can always go back and make correction/additions as and when needed before the final deadline.
