This week I got another group of people to edit the scene for my project.

Most of the time, I was in the same room at the time they were editing so I got to observe their editing styles. Priscilla, Jessica, and Daniel watched all the footage before they started editing, and Jennifer did too, though she scrolled through footage in the imovie program which meant that she did not hear the sound. Stephanie flicked through the footage quickly, she did not watch everything and only chose what she wanted to use when she started editing.

In terms of editing ability, Stephanie probably did the best when it came to continuity and ‘cleaning up’ the sound like cutting out action calls and laughter. Actually Priscilla probably did the best, and I guess the most conventional edit, but I’m going to discount her because she did media in high school from year 10-12. Lena and Jennifer didn’t do that well in audio or visual continuity but they each thought about why they wanted to use a particular shot so everything was purposeful. I find it is a shame it didn’t come through in the edit though.
