We have been editing the film since 4th January 2012. We have to have a rough cut by 23rd Monday 2012, currently we have got all the clips in order with the majority of them cut down, we have a chunk of footage that has been completed, we just need to put the final effects on to the last 20 seconds with of footage.

Transitions
We use transitions in our opening sequence for continuity and to show a change in scene, these can help the viewer get into the film. As well as crerating tension and confusin with fast paced editing involving fast cuts.
With our footage we will use mostly cuts to help link each shot as well as at the end of each scene to split the sequence up.
The transitions we use are very important to keep the audience interested in our film, we have filmed alot of our shots separately instead of continuously, because of this we need to think of a better transisition then a cut because the sequence looks to jumpy whereas we want it to be smooth.
The only time we need the sequence to look uneasy is when we have the multiple jump cuts during the flashback scene.
Hopefully we will be able to create confusion as well as a storyline worth following through the editing to keep the audience intersted and wanting to watch the rest of the film.

Changes made during filming
During filming we made a variety of changes to some of the shots due to the location change which meant were not able to shoot some of the shots. We had to adapt to the situation by changing the shot type to suit the location change.
Firstly the storyboard shows Arthur with a bag over his head, but we changed this because we wanted to film a point of view shot but the effect on the audience wouldn't be as good therefore we removed the bag to help the viewer feel more involved.
Shots 1 to 3 are the same but filmed in one continuous shot to help continuity instead of filming each individually.
Shot 5 was meant to be a point of view from Tom Ryder's perspective but we have changed it to Arthur's P.O.V to show the setting more.
Then shot 6 is the same but without a bag on Arthur's head for the reason stated earlier.
The next significant shot change is shot 11 where we have kept the over the shoulder shot but changed the positioning of it because of the lack of space in my garage as well as the lighting a the start of filming. So now the shot is filmed in front of Arthur not behind him.
Shots 20- 27 are different to the storyboard because there was a miscommunication between the actors whilst they dragged Arthur up the drive. As well as this we changed the angles of some shots and filmed the sequence continuously for continuity. two of the shots were meant to be high angle jump cuts between each other, but we didn't have the facilities to do this.
Whilst we were looking at the clips we were discussing editing techniques to fix some of the issues and to improve on the sequences to fit thriller conventions through the editing.
Another issue we faced was lighting and we couldn't find anything to light up the room effectively and dimly, so we had to settle for the garage light however to fix this problem we can adjust the brightness of the sequences during the editing process.

blog update
We are going to be filming on Tuesday 3rd January 2012, this seems like last minute with us going back to college on Wednesday 4th January 2012. We are filming on this day because we were scheduled to film on Thursday 29th December 2011 but we couldn't due to us having to change location because Tom Riley's garage could no longer be used. Now though we will film at my garage next Tuesday. My garage isn't huge but under the circumstances it will be suffice and mean we can complete our filming.
