To begin our second re-editing session we uploaded our next set of footage which includes all outdoor scenes of the characters 'Mirabelle' and 'Geraldine'. We watched the multiple shots and picked the best version of each shot to put into the 'flashback' segment of the opening.
After editing the basic segments of this footage and placing into the sequence we decided to focus on transitions to ensure the footage was consitent and flowed. After multiple tests of placement and transitions to figure out whicha arrangement was the most effective to enhance our plot and attempt to keep the opening as concise yet effective as possible.
We had anticipated audio to be an issue during this edit as the location was outdoors, because of this we researched possible methods for removing wind background noise but had ensured to set aside any time we would possibly need to re record the audio using a microphone. This was the most effective route and did not take too long to correct after meeting with the required actors.
During this session we decided to get various opinions on the newly edited footage so grouped together some peers for an evaluative focus group. The most common comment was that the shots were interesting though the shots could be more consitent by scaling one of the dialogue shots. We took on this feedback and completed this which did make the overall segment much more effective.
After planning we decided to incorpirate more shot types into this section than originally planned. During editing we could see this was a good descion as it was much more interesting using pan movements to track character movement than to have all static shots in the opening. After editing the outdoor scenes we decided to insert any walking shots of 'Mirabelle' as this set us up for the following editing sessions which would only need to add the other flash back segment and the title sequence. The sequence of Mirabelle walking incorporated titles which had been produced previously so we added these in as the last task of this session before reviwing new audio for the flashback segment.
These are some scenes we edited :
