Editing: The dinner table scene // Walking scene // Running from enemy scene // Bowing scene

Today, Jasmine and I worked together to cut and edit together the footage of the dinner scene, the running scene, the walking scene and the bowing scene because Chandler and James were unavailable. 

Firstly, we chose to edit the bowing scene because there were only two clips that needed to be put together. Once the clips were dragged onto the timeline, I dragged the end of the clip to cut it where we wanted the scene to change.  

 I dragged the dinner scene clips and grouped them in the order we wanted. I spent a few minutes cutting each clip so that the scenes would go together seamlessly, it was a lengthy process because I had to go frame by frame to cut the clips. The important aspects of this scene is the rivalry between the siblings so it was crucial for the transitions to be quick and seamless between these four different clips. 

Next we moved on to editing the running scene where Daniel is kicked down the stairs by Chantelle. There were also a total of four clips for this sequence and it was the first instance where we sped up the footage because it was too slow especially when she was running. I had to view the frame per second in order to cut the clip for the transition so when the scene cuts to Daniel's reaction, the transition is seamless.  

To make the walking scene a little more interesting, we decided to have the low angle shot of just their feet sandwiched between the the tilt upwards to their faces to extend the mystery before their faces are revealed. During production we purposefully readjusted the lens when he stops walking so that it focuses on his eyes - this was so there would be time for the voice over.
