Editing Day 3

On this day, Megan and I both knew that this would be our final editing day. In order to be able to complete our editing, we devised a plan and decided to add in our remaining footage from Filming Day 4. Because we did not have too much footage in Filming Day 4, we would be able to have a while to watch through our film and consider areas that needed improving and improve them before the deadline. We clipped the footage into the lengths necessary and chose transitions and effects suitable.
The shot with Emma (Kathleen's mother) was given simple effects and editing including a few transitions which allowed it to flow along with the Kathleen shots in the shot-reverse-shot we decided on. We did this to ensure it was fluid and continuous.
However, we came across some difficulty when editing the audio for this footage as we struggled to edit the audio so the dialogue could be heard clearly but we decided we would allow it for the deadline's sake but would ensure to change this for our draft 2.
In order to complete the split-screen of Chloe (Mirabell) and Ben (Larreh), we had to place both shots in the correct area beside each other to ensure it looks professional and organized. However, we decided due to the audio of Larreh interrupting the continuity of our film, we would have to reshoot this for our second draft seeing as it looked rather clumsy and had no fluidity.
Megan and I knew that our first draft would not be perfect and realised that we would not realistically be able to change everything before the deadline. Due to this, we decided to improve some elements that we could whilst rewatching our draft numerous times to pick out areas that needed improving.
We made minimal improvements to footage and audio before we decided to upload our first draft. Megan and I then discussed properly what needed to be reshot and improved for our second draft and any new ideas we had in order to make it much better.
