Editing Prelim

To edit my original prelim footage, I used the software ‘Adobe Premier, in which I first captured the film. I first watched the different scenes and focused on all the various shots I applied from different angles, places and movements. I selected the sections of the scene I liked best and used them to complete a full prelim. I began by cutting down the shots in order to use other shots for different lines of dialogue that would work well together and would visually flow. In my final outcome for my prelim over the shoulder shots, wide shot, medium shots and close ups as those were the shots that fitted best to make sense of my narrative. I also edited sections of the clip that needed to be shorter and elements that needed to be longer such as the opening needed to be quick when the boy enters through the door as this is where the scene begins and sets off the 'argument.' I watched it through numerous times each time I changed it/ cut a scene and i tried to make sure I edited it properly making sure there was no jumpy parts so it looked professional and it flowed thoroughly. I found my prelim difficult to edit as I couldn't master the use of the software straight away but I eventually got the hang of it and was able to complete my prelim. Throughout filming and editing my prelim I made sure the 180 degree rule was in tact in order for it to look like a real conversation between the 2 actors and the actors were in the 'line of action'. 

Below is my final edited prelim.
