The Breakfast Club Editing



Once we gathered enough footage, we saved them all onto our video drive so it could be edited later on. Then uploaded all the clips onto Final Cut Pro and began to order the clips according to the movie sequence. 

Firstly, we  were looking through all the useful footage for our shot by shot remake, this took some time as there was a lot to go through. 

Looking through the clips, we already came to a prediction that the editing process was going to be difficult because as we only used one camera, we captured the scenes at different angles it was hard to edit as we had to match the clips so the piece flowed seamlessly. 

We also had difficulties with editing because when we looked back at the footage a lot of it was out of focus (how annoying!).  We had to use a smaller amount of the shot as we still wanted to use it and there was nothing we could do about it (belch :|)

We used a variation of match cut; when Lauren's character was forced to move away from her scene. In addition, cross cut was used too which made our footage look slightly clumsy but we wanted to show things were moving on quickly. 


Diegetic sound, Non-diegetic sound and voiceover were the sounds       that we used. For example the dialogue (Diegetic) and the song 'Don't Forget About Me' (Non-diegetic).  With the music we allowed it to fade once the opening scene started (just like in the movie)
