R+P Post 17: Our editing arrangements

Our rough cut editing schedule

The entire process of editing for our rough cut lasted for 3 days and the time allocation was split evenly within the group to ensure each of us was allowed sufficient input into the project and so no-one ended up doing more work than the others.

The different roles we divided up within the group whilst we edited on our own included:

1. someone choosing the best shots of the takes and then cutting them down to the right length to put in the sequence.
2. someone gathering all the sound effects and the music track and then placing them on the sequence where required by the timeline.
3. someone to add all the titles throughout the sequence and ensure they were all the same font type and size (to create continuity).
4. someone to look through the entire sequence and fix any errors, such as continuity issues or technical faults.

After we edited on our own, we came together as a group to watch through the sequence and make reflections on what we thought we could improve on for the final shoot/edit - whilst also fixing any remaining errors or discussing individual preferences.
