Edits

I played the role of editor for our film this year. I was very pleased with our final film as it just shows how much more we experimented with the different tools available on the editing software, as opposed to last year. For the first part of our film I kept the edits extremely frequent to reflect the panic the character was experiencing. The quick edits not only show how fast Megan is moving trying to think of the right thing to do, but it also makes it hard for the audience to see what is happening. This creates confusion and panic for the audience members as well and helps them to feel what the character is feeling.

The second part of our film shows the three girls slowing down to re-evaluate the situation and come up with a decision. This half completely contrasts the first half of the film and contains some moving scene and slow motion shots as opposed to the short, sharp shots used in the first half. To make this half more thoughtful and moving to reflect the pace and narrative of these scenes, we dissolved the edits to give them a softer more blended transition.
