Editing

When we came to edit we had around 20 minutes of film to cut down to a maximum of 2 minutes. We started off by editing out all of the out-takes that we knew we were not going to need, this knocked it straight down to about 5 minutes. We then had to rearrange some of the footage because it was out of place. This left gaps in the film and it was jumping from one scene to another. It became increasingly difficult to sort out the more we tried, so we decided to start again.

The next time was more succesfull becasue we went through the film in cronalogical order instead of cutting out the the out-takes first. We managed to complete the editing in one day. and the total time came to around 1:20. However, we had failed to get the correct footage of the ending clip, so we had no proper way of ending the film. I decided to go back and capture the footage we needed to complete the film.

To do this I had to ring up the actor that got beaten up and ask if he could do it again. We met at the same location as we film the day before and I had to look at the footage on the camera to see where abouts to shoot it.

We put tomarto saurce on the actor, roughed up his hair and put mud on his face to make it look like he had been beaten up badley. The total amount I filmed was only 6 seconds but we needed to finish off our piece.
