First lesson of final piece editing.

Seeing as we haven't actually filmed our entire piece yet, we didn't really know how much editing there was for us to do.
So we decided to capture what we had done off our tape anyway and therefore would be able to look at our work in detail to make sure that we had the right shots for the whole piece in the end and also to see where about we either wanted the 'flashbacks' to go and how they would fit in.
We knew that it wasn't going to take all four of us to do this so Aidan and Sarah decided to go back to Chilwell fields with the camera and shoot some shots of the fields on their own to maybe fit in a few fast edits of trees and an empty field to really portray the loneliness of the surroundings the girl will walk through.
This didn't go too well as it was a very bright day and there was a lot of gleam on the shots as well as it not being very continuous on from out 6am dark morning in the rest of the film. We still haven't decided whether or not to use these shots but when we come to capturing it may edit them to be a bit darker and then see how they fit in.
This then left Rob and myself to start the editing. We had a major problem with actually starting the software for about the first hour of the lesson and therefore just had to wait for it to load and had to try it on three different computers to actually get it to work. When we eventually got there, Sarah and Aidan had come back from their filming and decided to join in.
We realised that there were a few errors as in one of the shots you could see me, and other shots we had left a few seconds before our actress actually started in case of bad timing. This then meant we had to edit down the first second of a few shots and also had to cut out the actresses head in one shot of the close up of the houses to make sure that the audience couldn't see that she had actually stopped.
This all worked out well and now we just need to do some more filming and put together our whole piece.
