Editing Progress

We began editing as soon as we got back from Liverpool on the Wednesday afternoon by getting the raw footage of the tapes and SD cards and started sub-clipping them all to get them ready to be put in a sequence. I took the lead role in all of this as the main editor an organised them in relevance to their location first and then the shot type itself. Organisation is the key when it comes to editing as making everything tidy is always a massive time saver and time is something that is always against you when producing a film.
Me and the director Chris will be working very closely in this process as the goal is to put his idea and vision down into the timeline and create a solid documentary out of it. We have started compiling different shots and interviews together to form a sequence that we are happy with which tells the story we are trying to portray. We are only trying to form this rough assembly at the moment and after our tutorial with Dom, hopefully draw what we've created into a rough cut.

After the first day of proper editing this is what we have come up with and what Dom will see tomorrow so we hope it is going in the right direction. To improve we should have tried to piece together a more realistic narrative to begin with, even though our idea didn't really have a set in stone direction and depended on what footage we got and the people we met.
