Approaching Editing

On our first real day of editing, we set about organising all our clips in keeping to the timing of the animatic that we had already made. This means that we can build around the original narrative which will give us a strong frame on which to rest the performance clips of adam, cutaways etc. that we will want to add later. However this is harder to do than we initially though, because we had to keep so religiously to the timings we often felt like we were cutting from clips that we liked because they were too long according to our animatic. This can feel somewhat restrictive, especially when you have more than one favourited video in one section that has quiet a short time space according to the animatic. Luckily, we took note of all the videos we were cutting and still have the originals to make alterations later, we dropped many to the side so we could still see them whilst we are editing, this will make it easier later on when we want to adjust.
