Construction 8: My personal contributions to the Edit Sessions

During the editing process, I took on the following tasks:

• Organising our footage by shot and take
• Cutting our shots into the sequence
• Adjusting the length of each shot
• Some work on grading



On our timetable, I contributed 19 hours to
editing the project. Ignacio spent 15 hours editing
and Eddie spent 10 hours editing

• Editing the atmospheric sound to make it less jarring.

I started by organising our clips, selecting the best takes and placing them into the sequence. Although this process was time-consuming, it was essential for finding mistakes in our footage or editing. Thankfully, the process was shortened by our storyboard and rough edit, as we had a clear idea of the order in which each shot should be placed.

Reflections
I am very satisfied with my contribution to the project. I feel as though I have spent a lot of time working on the sequence and as a result I have been able to identify and solve many problems we have encountered. Unfortunately, there were some problems which were impossible for us to overcome due to a lack of time. Nevertheless I am satisfied with the role I have played in producing our opening sequence.
