Today, Editor Stella began the editor.. Soon after starting we had a group meeting with our tutor Debbie, Although the general skeleton of the edit was now in place.. Our tutor suggest that we need to completely change the structure.. This was due to the film taking place in two areas. One static city location and the others being tracking shots. She believed that switching throughout the film between static and trackign scenes prevented the film flowing properly and therefore suggested moving around the scenes.
Stella came up with the idea of using the majority of the static city location as a voice over...which will form over cutaways etc. The only problem with this is that although we have many cutaway clips, I shot only with intention of using them for location cutways and interview cutaways - in other words the shots were mearly tilts, pans and statics but didnt portray movement that the rest of the film does with tracking (talking to camera) shots. This was a scripting error.
I came up with the idea of trying to get the actor again for a few hours to shoot some cutaways of him walking. However he was unavailable on such short notice and therefore I suggested using his coat and hat and shooting cutaways of myself (due to looking more like the actor than the rest of the crew) walking around travelling between scenes and as sound was not required because we would be using these shots over a voice over.
