Editing Process For Our Collateral Remake

Screengrabs of our editing process

This is a screengrab of our imported clips

We placed our footage onto the timeline using the 'in' and 'out'
button to select the footage we wanted.

We added effects onto our footage such as dissolves.
We did this to hide some of our bad camera work
and match-cuts that didn't  go well.

Difficulties that we faced and improvements:

• The match cuts were inaccurate which prevented us from creating seamless editing . This is a disadvantage because the audience can pick up on this fault
• We learnt that focusing every single shot is essential, otherwise we will end up with soft shots
• We struggled to follow the different shot types for example mid shots following the top of the head and shoulder
• In the process of filming we should have followed the story board that we planned previously, more precisely
• We didn't film enough shots and as a result the final piece includes several jump cuts, leading to a lack of continuity editing
• We developed an understanding of the important of pre-production planning. A detailed storyboard is a vital tool for a success film
• We learnt the importance of positioning the characters and the camera angles
