What we learn from editing

During editing we actually learned more about filming as well because there is some problems that make editing more difficult and also there is some good point that makes the sequence look really nice when we edited it. This is some of the point we find out during editing.

 

Space between saying rolling,action and when the actors really act
This is because when we edit our prelim we found out that the voice come in and therefore we have to cut that useful bit out so next time we have to leave a bit of a gap so we can use the whole shot.

Markers
The markers that tell where actor should stand is too obvious. It is not a problem in close up or over the shoulder shot but in wide shot we can actually see that the actor walk to stand on the marker therefore next time we might have to make it less obvious to cover up this little detail.

Dialogue
Some dialogue is missing from some shot so even though we want to use that particular shot for that particular words it wasn't there!!! Next time we have to make sure we got everything which will make it so much easier in editing it. 

Continuity
Little detail such as door opening and door closing does make a lot of different! I just realise how important continuity is when I really have to edit it. We have to cut a lot of shot out because the door is not close at the same time. I thought I'm really careful during filming about continuity but this really tell me to be more careful about it. 

Here it comes some good things we did yeah!

Variety of Shots 
Because we did some extra shots like close up on hands, high angle shots, door closing, low angle shots and other detail shots we actually have a lot of shots to play around. It is like choosing clothe in a way, the more clothes you have the more choice you have to mix and match. So because of the variety of shot the sequence we edit look pretty cool because there is a lot of details going on.

I am very satisfied with our prelim after editing even though it is very short it looks really nice. We can also spot a lot of good things and bad things from editing and filming so I am sure our thriller will be even better! I'm looking forward to it!
