Editing Prelim Task

We took turns editing each section within the group. After sorting out all the clips we were using from the filming we had to upload the files to the editing software. We had to look through what clips we needed and name them what they were, because straight after coming off the camera you can't tell what clip they are. Next we had to put them in the right order ready for editing. After this the clips were finally ready for editing.



We used a lot of quick transitions in the build up to the interrogation scene. The hall way scene which also used a pan to show the front view of the police officer and the suspect. Then it shows the back of them as they are walking away. It then quickly transitions to a close up of the door handle and then the door being slammed shut on the other side.

One of the key aspects we stuck to was the 180 degree rule whereby you keep the filming in a field of 180 degrees, it was done in the actual interrogation scene. You do this so you don't confuse the audience with 380 degree spinning so they may feel like they can't tell what is going on. Whilst using it in the interrogation scene we thought it would be important for the interrogators and the suspect to always be in shot and at the centre of the screen and attention.
