Editing, editing, editing

So we've edited the flashbacks and the beginning and we've just put together all the bits in between. Between each flashback and the previous shot we've put in a transition of fade to white.



 The shots directly before the flashback scene are the same so that was quick and easy to do which obviously gave us more time to edit the rest like our match on action.

We've editied our match on action! We originally filmed a previous match on action in the old 'dying' room but it was too distracting, didn't fit in with our storyline and there was an 180 degree rule error.

The 180 degree rule is something that is the most basic but crucial continuity rule in filming. It's when there's two subjects and in order to keep the continuity, they have to be filmed from the same 180 degree semi circle, hence the name. If they're not filmed using this rule, then the audience will see them from what is called the 'reverse angle' and it will disrupt the continuity.

This match on action took us a while to get right because at first the clips from each angle were either too long or too short so we were constantly editing them to different lengths.
