Today we worked on perfecting the cuts and watching it over and over to check that we were happy with the clip. We had Marissa watch over the clip and we realised it was really really long. It was about 5 minutes and our target was 2 minutes, this meant that we had a lot of work to do and we had to cut more than half and as we were already happy with what we had we did not know what to cut. Also at this point we had more footage that we had to gather as well so we were in quite a dilemma.
However we found that some clips were unnecessarily long and would not change the narrative it we had cut some off it down. This was a really long process and it took ages to cut at least a few seconds of most clips. We successfully were able to cut it down to about 3-4 minutes by the end of the lesson and decided that we would carry on cutting next lesson before we started to fix the fonts on our titles and the finalised position.
Marissa also suggested that we cross cut before the night scenes and the day scenes, we thought this to be a pretty good idea that help make the production look better. This also helped our narrative to show the contrast between our main characters day life and night life.
Next lesson we plan to carry on cutting and fix up our titles a little bit all ready for our Rough Cut. We still have a long way to go but we are certainly excited to be in the direction which we are headed.
