What We Have Learnt from Editing

During our time editing, we have learnt that continuity is extremely important. In regards to our shots, this is important as in some shots the background was busy, whereas in a similar shot/place, the background was completely empty. This was beyond our control, but is definitely an aspect that should be considered for future reference as it makes editing shots a lot more difficult. We have also learnt to use different types of software and to make our own production title for the movie. Finally, we have realised that editing is generally a long process that requires a huge level of patience, and making shots look professional takes a lot of hard work and use of effects.

To add to the point of continuity, mise en scene was also an important factor in making shots believable. This meant we would have to wear the same costume for certain scenes, and have hair and make up and props the same when filming shots for the same part.
The weather was also something to consider. When filming outside, we had to try and film on days where the weather was similar, which meant filming would be tricky some days when the weather would suddenly change.
