Despite the fact that we couldn't edit what we actually wanted to do today (because it wasn't there), we still made use of the 2 hour time period. We did the following things:
1. Edited the falling glass into it's intended spot in the song.
We did this by editing it down so that it was literally just before the point the glass came into camera shot and hit the floor. Once this was done, I slowed the speed down to 50% so that when the glass shattered on the floor it looked really dramatic. This is the climax point of the song, and although it looked good it was not long enough to fill the gap we had. So, we decided to copy the footage and paste it in in the gap. We then edited it with reverse speed, and this gave us the effect of the glass shattering and then putting itself together again. We felt this looked very effective.
2. Adjusted the flashback shots in the last chorus to fit more smoothly in with the song.
Firstly, we identified a shot in the song where Joe is meant to notice Emily leaving the house. My group mates felt that this shot didn't work, so we deleted it out of the video all together. Next, we pulled down from the video line a long shot of Joe walking through the corridor in the house to follow Emily when she leaves. We cut this into two sections, and placed the first section in the spot where the original shot of Joe was, and the other we put in the place of a close-up of myself. We did this as we felt that the flashbacks shots needed to be closer together for them to have an impact and make sense to the audience.
3. Tidied up some previous editing that we had done.
This included simple things like re-framing shots, and generally just slightly cutting down any shots to make the editing as tight as it could be.
