Editing So Far...

I'm quite far into my editing at the moment. It started off a little slow as I didn't have much footage to edit due to various time difficulties with the actor. The first edit was very simple as most of it was cuts and it was mostly about going through all of the footage to make sure things such as the continuity was okay and if the footage itself is good, incase I had to go back and re film something. However, everything looks good and I chose which footage I considered to be the best shots to edit. 

Some lengths of certain shots are a little erratic as I need to record a voice over, over the image and I don't know how long I'll need the shot to be when I come round to recording it. Because of this my first edit is 7 minutes long, which is over the time limit, but when I do the voice recording, everything will be cut down to hopefully fit into the 5 minute time period.

















When I finally came around to shooting more footage, I had a very good idea of what I wanted the final edited scene to be like as the scene I was shooting was when the character is attacked. It is sort of like a flash back to his past, showing what happened when he was attacked. Over this footage will be a voice over of the character reflecting on what happened that day.
I slowed down the length of the footage in order to make it in slow motion as I felt this would be more effective and make the mockumentary style film look more serious, which would be quite humorous to the audience.

This is my first edit of what I've done so far. Where there are black gaps on the screen, that is where more footage is meant to be, but first I have to actually film it! It's been delayed a bit as I'm waiting to hear about a certain location possibility to film in.
There is no voice over yet, so there is footage with no audio over it.
