Editing for Will

Helping will out was fun. It gave me an opportunity to have a go at a different part of the production process in editing.
The only thing will was really specific about was not disrupting the flow of the vdeo with to many transitions etc. So really it was about being efficient, concise, clear and uncluttered.
To start off with i just had to clip the segments of footage to appropriate lengths. This was made easier due to the rough tape sheet that i was given along with the footage.
Once this was done, i began composing the shots i felt best sat with the concept, being careful to check all the footage over and over for bits that might work better.
Once the basic outline was in, cut to the appropriate parts of the audio, the remaining footage, along with spurious bits of film were discarded.
I decided to make anotyher edit, that comprised of the footage that wasn't being used. Mainly for Final Cut practice and to give him other edits to choose from, or sections of edits that were lightly different from the main one.
The whole process took 2 days, working about 6 hours each day.
I wanted to be as efficient as possible as Will is relying on me to make sure he doesn't go over schedule.
