Construction Post 8: My personal contribution to the edit sessions

Me editing our sequence

As with any part of the process, I put in as much time and effort as possible when editing. I gave up a huge amount of free time both during and after school, often working at lunchtimes & until 17:45 to make sure the project was completed before the deadline, and to a high standard. 

I thought that me and Josh edited the sequence well, and edited our version of the opening sequence with confidence, taken as a result of previous experience with Premiere Pro for other projects & media work. Personally, I helped to cut out a lot of background noise from rushes, chose a grading style with blue tones for cold, moody cinematography, and also was responsible for mixing the music to conclude in time with our sequence.

I felt that one positive of editing with Josh was that we both paid meticulous attention to continuity, although in hindsight we maybe spent a little too much time examining small details. Moreover, if I were to change anything about our editing sessions, I would maybe divert more time into grading and lighting rather than concerns over shots being a frame too long, as there were still some colour differences between shots which were not resolved. Overall, though, editing went very successfully in my opinion.
