Footage: Initial Edit



After the completion of my preliminary film, I decided to edit together some more footage, re-using my favourite shots from before. This time, I focused on the idea of journeying, with a clearer progression in the lead up to the airport and faster paced cuts. Despite acknowledging that there is still a lot left to be filmed for the beginning of the video, and many further improvements and cropping to be done, I wanted to receive some more feedback at this stage so that I could make appropriate changes. Here, I started the music half way through because I have yet to film the beginning, so it would be inappropriate to place this section of the video at the start of the song when it only fits the last section.
+
Some interesting shots
Narrative gradually becomes clearer
Nice colours and lighting
Opening shot is effective
Good use of slow motion

-
Repetitive and shaky shots
Some uninteresting shots
Some clips need cropping

I am pleased with the comments received for this initial stage of editing, as although some were of a negative nature, these were to be expected and I know there are aspects that I now need to improve. These include being more precise with my editing, such as cropping, and use of slow motion.
