Having to have a break from editing...

Due to the computers going missing the editing process has been suspended to further notice. Although this does give me Kai and Darren a chance to talk and think about how we want our finished short film to look, and whether we want to include a voiceover or not.

Where we are in the editing process at the moment

We have log and captured all our footage and constructed a sequence which is the basis for our short film. I also created an opening title in Adobe Photoshop, which took me about 2 hours (with no help from Kai and Darren as their levels of experience do not match up to my expertise. We have made no revisions to our original idea, although I, personally, believe it is a necessity for us to reshoot. We didn’t think through every narrative structure, therefore there is a certain part in the sequence where a shot cuts too quickly to another, consequently forcing the narrative to fail, and the storyline to make no sense. After talking to Mrs Matthews, she suggested we reshoot to give the five pound note a back-story, adding depth to our film. Although Kai and Darren and disagree with me completely. Darren has found backing music that is available for us to purchase for the copyright to be lifted and so that we can use it without any problems regarding piracy. We need to finish the script in the meantime so that when we get the edit suite back we can dive straight back into the work.
