Editing: Cutting Footage

During editing, we realised that some of the footage we filmed would either disrupt the pace of the trailer or some of the footage just didn't fit together because they didn't make sense when put next to the new scenes. This was a difficult decision to make because the shots were quite good.

The city montage disrupted the flow of the story no matter where we placed it, so we decided to cut it out. 

We also cut the scene of Marcus shooting the gun because we had the same shot of Chantelle; the victim's point of view shot would be less potent if we were to use the same idea twice. 

The shot of James being threatened and killed on the staircase would reveal too much of the plot so we decided to leave this scene out. 

We collectively decided to delete the footage of Daniel being shot on the floor because the scene also disrupts the fast pace of the fighting montage. 

The additional flashback scene of the younger Kazuo was also cut out because it would need further development that wasn't really necessary because he is not the protagonist.
