Editing the rough cut gradually got easier the more we took audience feedback on board. We started to mind map more ideas that would improve the piece and started to film pieces several times to make sure that we got the perfect shot. By using the same recordings from differently placed cameras, we were able to select the best clip and edit them into our film. We changed clips completely or how we approached a scene. This is because we wanted to have the same impact on the audience as if we were the audience and watched it for the first time. We had the ideas, yet performing them was something of a challenge to the team. Some of ideas would generally be a different approach to the other so we would research and agree on which idea could possibly go into our film. We started to adjust clips, modifying them to suit the previous or future scenes. This began to get difficult as we had to speed up clips and cut precisely and accurately to merge scenes well with one another.
Watching and analysing the clip repeatedly, we thought as a collective team that the story could be made more interesting and understandable by having the detectives arrive at the house. This made the film flow much easier as you saw them arrive back at the crime scene. We received great comments from our peers quoting “It made it much clearer, more realistic and professional instead of a group of students with a camera.”
We re-filmed many clips to sort out any continuity errors and any clips that we needed to make quicker. We had trouble with time throughout the task as we had much more footage that could have been used effectively in a longer piece. We made the dialogue between the detectives faster to make the whole scene more realistic as if it were a conversation. The team pulled together the idea of the shot reverse shot technique making the audience see reactions and deciding for them how to react to that in our final piece, which I believe was executed perfectly to add pace to the conversation.
