Following on from last week’s filming, people’s individuals edits were presented to the class and discussion ensued. Robin argued that whilst filming the cameraman/DOP/director should frame and shoot scenes with more precision. Everything in (and out of) frame should be purposeful and informed. We’re now at a stage where we should think about whether that should really be there or if something has been framed ‘properly’.

I also got to view the edits of the other members of my group. I found that there were only slight differences to mine. Everyone’s edits of ‘A’ were very similar, and this is because we shot it in a way that only allowed for one ‘line’ or ‘pattern’ of editing. In one way, this could be a positive thing. If it’s how the director envisioned the final product should look like, then each edit would play out similarly. However, even edits of ‘B’, which was directed and shot by other members in the group, were similar to edits of ‘A’. I think it is because we were working in the same space and with the same script, that creating a scene which was different to the first one was so difficult.
