Production: Editing Day 1

After the first day of filming was complete, we began the editing phase of our production process. The first day of editing was focused primarily on creating a sequence of shots that would be considered the opening sequence leading into the development of the fear. We began by importing all footage and photos taken on the first day of filming to the desktop computer, which were then imported into the Adobe Premiere Pro editing software.

Our editing style for our first draft consisted of fitting together a sequence of shots in the correct order, without cutting the shots down into the correct positions. This was so that we could focus solely on matching our storyboard concept as well as possible; we would then worry about fine-tuning the piece afterwards to avoid getting less footage into the sequence than intended.

Due to issues with computers and the power in the workroom, we had less time to import the footage and create the sequence. Whilst we completed this, we felt that we did not have the time to edit the length of each shot, therefore, we felt our time would be better spent sourcing sound for our short film (see http://aidansa2.blogspot.co.uk/2016/11/production-sound.html for the information on this task). We also spent time at the end of the lesson filtering through the ancillary pictures we took and both Amber and I selected our favourites and sent them to ourselves in order to continue on our ancillary product.
