Editing the Main Exercise

Andy James was the designated Editor, but since the filming at the secound location he has not turned up to any lessons. Because of this I have tacken quite alot of responsiblity the editing and have done the majority of it.

Once we finished filming we produced a Two Paper Edits:

• March 10th



• March 17th

As a group we decided on which shots we would use for the edit. Once we had done this I put it into the right order acording to the script. Because of the length of shot with them doing thier hair we decided to cut the 2 shots into 4 so it would flow better. This meant that there was 2 extra shots.

Because we used Diegetic tittles we had to ensure that a 'normal' person would have time to read the tittles. This was a problem as holding the shot longer made it look shaky and look out of place. To combat this problem we took a still of the opening part of the shot, held it for a couple of seconds before the actual shot begins to play. This gives the audience a chance to read the tittle before it moves back to the narrative of the opening sequance.

Looking at the quality of the colour of the film compared to other films from the chick-flick genre. It looks alot duller than of actual films, which look like the colour intensity has been turned right up. Because of the equiptment that we are using it would be very hard for us to produce our film with this colour quality. It requires high intensity studio lighting and make-up and clothing to compensate for this light intensity.
