Editing (21st March)

Following our audience feedback session last week, we did some more editing to make our teaser trailer better using the constructive criticism we recieved.
Our main issue with the trailer was the length, as when we showed it to the class it was about 2.10 minutes. It was longer than we planned because we were worried that we would not have enough footage, but watching it back on the big screen we realised that some of the shots were very repetative and too long. Today, Hannah took out two of the panning shots and refined the other shots which were on the screen for too long with nothing happening, which took away the effectiveness of the montage. After cutting these shots down, we took the time down to around 1:40. Another way we took the time down, was deleting one of the film distribution indents, which took off another 20 seconds.
Another piece of constructive criticism was to include a more diverse range of shots. We feel that we could add in some high and low angle shots and, if we can, we could film them over the weekend (24th and 25th March) but only if we are all avaliable.
