Editing: week commencing 27/02/12

During this week our group captured all our footage, picked the best shots, and edited them into a continious sequence.
My individual achievements this week include:
Editing sound behind titles to achieve a continious feel.
Working on slowing down the beggining shots to give a more calm and relaxed feel.
Working on the new ending with the assasin leaving in slow motion.
As part of the group I also helped select and organize the shots into an order, decided where to put the titles, and worked to resolve issues in the sequnce e.g We had a nice low angle shot where the assasin wipes the blood off her face, but the blood was not applied to her face properly and therefore we decided to cut the shot, as it would build more tension seeing her face at the end anyway.
I particularly like the slower pace to the beggining and the slow mo at the end of the sequence, as well as the titles Natasha has started to work on and the new choice of music by Nico particularly at the end of the sequence as it makes it a lot more dramatic.
As a team I think we are working well and the edit is really taking shape.
This week we need to complete our opening sequence and I would especially like to work on the titles and the after effects of the blood splat as these would be useful new skills to learn.
