Editing decisions

When we had finished filming, we attempted to upload our film. We had a lot of problems which mean we got further behind with editing. When we had finaly uploaded our film, we watched the whole video all the way through. We decided to start editing out all of the outtakes or scenes which we know we wont use, for example in scene 2 where the boys were playing around. We organized out film into 7 parts, scene 1A, scene 2A, scene 3A, scene 1B, scene 2B, scene 3B and maybe's. The sceneA's were the scenes before the occurrence happens, whereas the sceneB's are the scenes during and after the occurrence. We have now decided to have 6 seperate scenes, in the above order. This then means we show each character once before the occurrence and then again after and during the occurrence.We decided to start editing the school girl scenes first, Scene 2A&B. This was because it was the one we had the most time consuming ideas for. We decided previously that we would experiment with the Timestretch funtion, to make the scene focus on the school girl, creating the impression that she thinks she is the most important person in the world. We slowed a close up shot of the school girl down to 60% using Timestretch. The shot after this was in 100% still and looked very contrasting with the slowness so we decided to cut the nect scene into 3 seperate sections, a 60%, 80% then a 100% Timestretch to soften the transition. After this, we found the "rotate" function. We experimented with the close up shot, making it rotate in different ways in slow motion. The transition between the slow motion shot and the full body walking shot seemed softer when the close up shot was turned by 90 degreese, as the girl is facing to her left at the begining of the shot.
