On Monday of last week we finished watching all our clips (which there are a lot of but we forgot to get some shots...oops) and we sorted them into folders to make it easier on ourselves when we are editing. We also got a rough cut of the first half of the film. Currently, we have some random piece of music in our film that we are probably going to switch out... who knows though.
A challenge that we faced this week is that some shots we just didn't get, but its easy to work around those so that's okay. The real challenge that we've faced during editing is making sure there is continuity. Some of the shots we have our actor facing one way and then all of the sudden he is facing the other, or his hand is in one spot and then we switch to a close-up and it is in another. These shots are hard to work around. We are cutting as close as possible to make it look like everything is continuous but sometimes I feel like it is kind of obvious that their is not great continuity.
Again, like last week, we didn't each have a specific job. We switch around and take turns doing the editing and such. I sorted our clips into different folders and did some of the editing. I also chose and imported the music, but, like I said before, we are probably going to end up switching songs because ours doesn't fit as well as I originally thought it would.
At the end of this week, my goal for our group is to have a rough cut of the entire film. I think that we can definitely get that done. We only have one day of class this week because of AP tests but we will now be able to start staying after school to work on the film.
