Editing session 3



In our third session we came across a few difficulties that slowed down our editing process. At the beginning, we looked through our exiting content that we had already put together and finish off the scenes that still need to be put together. Currently, we were working on the ending scene, when the main guy takes the brief case from the van. We need to get the ending scene done first in order for us to edit the shouting scene, as the length of the last scene depends on the length of the shouting scene.

The editing process itself has been difficult for my group because all of us have completely different expectations of the rough draft. At this stage we have two bits that we have been looking at in detail, but it is all still a rough draft. We established that my group has two very strong editors and they are the ones guiding the editing process. I have had a go at editing the product and I usually sit beside them and either watch what they do or put in ideas of what is missing in the scenes. A problem that my group and I have came across was that we were spending too much time focusing in on detail in the early stages, instead of getting a rough product together and then going through it and improving it in detail. Therefore, now we aren't as close as other groups to putting in our titles.

Referring back to the problem of us all having different expectations, it made it challenging for us to edit. This is because every time we came in for our session we looked back to what we did the last editing session, and one of my group members was disappointed and was trying to work on the same scene as we did the previous lesson, consequently our whole process was slowed down.
