Re-editing Day 1

6th of January 2017

During this day on the 6th of January, Megan and I decided to begin our editing process of our reshoots. Both of us removed the footage we did not want to use in our final film. We decided to begin putting all of our footage together that we had done and decided to use, before roughly beginning to put them together and creating gaps for future filming. Due to our first refilming session on the 4th of January, Megan and I were able to begin the editing process immediately and use the lesson to our advantage.

Megan and I knew that the editing process would be a hefty process and would take a lot of time due to the storyboard we created. We were able to open our files and find them quickly as we initially decided to separate the footage into numerous folders. This quickened the process of placing shots into Premier Pro and including several audios and transitions.

We then began editing and once we completed that, we decided to begin editing music to the beginning as well as trying out different transitions to enhance the shots. Whilst doing this, we came across no real issues as this was basic adjustments to the shots and we only added in the first shots in the correct order as well as a few titles and transitions.

Megan and I decided it was best to have a big space between some parts of footage to show a clear indicator where the next pieces of footage would be for the next editing day. This was just after the flashback sequence. We then began editing several titles in the Kathleen sequence and some transitions to the footage to create continuous footage and allow it to flow.

Therefore, Megan and I both agreed that the editing was basic and not many problems presented itself to us. Due to this, we had extra time towards the end and in that time, we chose to experiment with fonts, effects and transitions. Due to playing around with these beforehand, we knew we would not have to worry too much in future editing about these particular features.
