2nd Editing Session

"Preview shot of Joseph assembling the bomb"

As apart of this editing session, my goal was to re-visit the last edit I had made and replace some of the shots with those from the re-shoot. This strategy helpe the sequence remain within the time frame of two minutes whilst allowing for some potential alternation with the duration or placements of particular shots.

"The editing timeline for the bomb assembly"

Within this editing, a lot of work went into the first half of the sequence where Joseph is assembling the bomb. This is because the match on action had to be perfected;since with the 1st draft our group noticed there was a poor degree of accuracy regarding Joseph's match on action.

Another aspect of the opening that was further developed was the threat message directing at the opening of the piece. The most noticeable change made since the first draft is that the subject's voice is much deeper; this had be planned within the development of the project to make the character behind the mask seem far more hidden and unrecognisable as later on the he is finally seen and speaks. The threat video has also been reshot as we shot it in a wider frame to see more of the subject; as apart of this we had also re-recorded the actor's voice to ensure that his performance was in sync with the dialogue.

'Editing timeline for the school sequence"

With the school sequence, the most noticeable change is the inclusion of dialogue between Joseph and his classmate. This idea played as a interesting decision and I believe has improved the sequence as it provided an additional level of tension to the situation and enforces the ambiguous and troubling nature of Joseph.
