Ediitng Workshop

Thursday 5th January

After we returned to college from filming, we decided that we did not want to waste time waiting until next lesson before we edit our footage so myself and Gerald attended workshop because the rest of the group were unavailable, as we had a 3 hour gap it was the perfect opportunity to get some editing out of the way. As we were editing and trying to create good looking match cuts we realized that they were turning out to be bad looking jump shots, after asking the advice of a media helper, we were told that because we did not film the action to the end and cut straight to the same action in another angle we were unable to make the shot look smooth. We learned that you cannot match cut action from the same angles because it then looks like a jump shot. Having taken this in advice into carefully consideration for future filming, we decided that nothing could be dun and we would have to film that part again along with a couple other shots that had the same problem. After the helpful workshop we informed the group that we would be filming early Saturday morning in order to be up to date and not too far behind on our production schedule, we all agreed on 11am and the location our filming would take place. During this early morning session we aimed to get the unsuccessful match cutting shots re-filmed and the house scene starring myself and pareece filmed leaving our thriller pretty much completed and only editing footage, and making the credits and music left to do. We needed this early morning session as we were told that due to a college performance Gerald would not be able to attend any media lesson for the next week, so getting all the filming out of the way was of great relevance.
