Media Editing Plan

Currently our film opening is too long, so I decided to create a rough editing plan to correct each shot.

Media Studies
Chronological Editing Plan

First Scene

Blur out “in a relationship with” (or cut it so it’s white)

Commence opening shot sooner

“About studios present” speed up!

2^nd scroll down  picture shot starts higher than first shot ends

Exclude map on 2^nd scroll down shot (fade black earlier)

“A chris/Jamie film” change effect, speed up very slightly

For “a chris/Jamie film”, fade in later on the side shot (so J turns on light almost straight away)

Cut side shot at end so we don’t see paper being turned over (saves time)

Password entry, speed up

Hit-return shot is too long – cut the last half (or so) off

Bird’s eye shot could be cut shorter

Facebook screens could be sped up

^Speed loading of page right up so it’s not noticeable

^Speed photo viewing up slightly

Stalker stroking screen shot: Fade to black very slightly earlier

Robyn jones at bed & map display shots can be cut shorter

Start bird’s eye shot slightly later (so stalker’s hand straight away moves from mouse to keyboard)

Speed up Jamie receiving paper from printer (because they won’t think it’s printing they’ll think jamie’s just picking up a piece of paper)

Key’s in draw shot: Start slightly later (so draw opens instantly)

^try sound bridge the draw-opening sound and then cut half way through the inside-draw shot

Wrench shot: cut slightly earlier at end (too much lingering on the tv)

Outside high-angle shot: Cut end off earlier (so we don’t see chris faffing with keys)

Behind-car shot: Speed up once chris is in (so it appears as if he’s started the car very quickly)

^The engine-start noise could be slightly louder, and keep it the same speed (because the images will be quicker than the sound once you’ve sped it up – that’s bad)

FACESTALK noise bit too loud ßHave FACESTALK appear at end of second scene, not first

Can’t use ‘ring’ music
