Editing and our first draft

Today in our lesson we uploaded all of our new footage onto the macs to look at what we had and what we still needed. So far we have only really filmed some parts for our flashbacks but we decided to put them together to see what they look like and see if we liked them.
We started off by putting a long clip of when we were driving in the car onto imovie and speeding it up. We also put the clip into black and white because we want to have all of the flashbacks in black and white and then the person waking up in colour to show the time difference. This is simlilar to what happened in Casino Royale when all of the scenes before the opening credits were in black and white to show that it was from the past and then after the credits it went back to colour to show it was then present day.
After speeding up the clip of Enfield Town through the car window, we then started putting random very short clips of other things we filmed all the way through the car scene to break it up. We started off with the traffic lights turning from red to green but as the clips are all in black and white we are hoping to find a way that we can make the background black and white but make the colours from the traffic lights stand out.
After adding a couple of other shots into it we decided our shots were too long still so we started adding more and more in until the whole thing was very fast paced and choppy.
Some of the shots we added were:
* A person's eyes in the mirror of the car
* Sarah running into the phonebox
* The public footpath sign
* Sarah's point of view running through the field
* A point of view shot of someone walking through branches
* A close up of the steering wheel
* A close up of the radio and a hand changing the station
* A low angled shot looking up at the sky when a flock of birds flew over
* Me running over the camera into the distance
* Sarah from above in the phone box
* Some different people just walking through the street that we filmed from the car windows

This is our very first draft of our new film:



Our group was really pleased with this draft and I am already enjoying this film a lot more than our original. We need to film a bit more footage, including when the character actualyl wakes up which we are planning to do one day next week after school as we were unable to all make it on Wednesday.
