Editing part one

Today we began to edit our complete shots which were not fuzzy, too light, or too dark! We began with the opening sequence of Ibby walking along London Southbank this is when we faced our first editing decision. When we filmed we used a stick to identify how far away Ibby should walk away from the camera just so that he wasnt much closer or much further in the next shot as we thought this would break versimilitude with the audience. We were not sure whether to make Ibby walk through the whole shot or to split the shots in half so that he is walking in front of graffiti and then in front of Southbank buildings. We decided to let Ibby walk completely through the frame so that we did not break focus between the audience and scenery. We then began to edit the shot where Ibby was sitting on the bench. We edited the shot so that we had a match on action when Ibby opened the lunchbox which, signified the importance of the lunch box in our plot-an metonymic shot of his loneliness. We began to play around with the sound of the atmosphere. We copied the sound and pasted it over as much film we had so, the atmosphere sound was equal and we didnt have car horns and trucks driving past or the bells from buskers which, was especially annoying!!
