Editing of the Short Film

The editing process was short and sweet, much like our short film, i was present for everyday of the editing and contributed to it by adding and taking away parts that had been laid down, i also contributed by putting in a soundtrack that Louis and Bethan had chosen called "lazy days" and adding my own track called "comic cowboy" The piece had a very strange gimmick of having the television follow the protagonist and by using the comic cowboy track for each of the televisions appearances it gave the piece the added emphasis it needed to make the audience laugh (as tested by using members of the form seeing the piece with and without sound) much like the filming process a lot of my time was spent messing around with sound especially on one day where the levels were messing up and there were various things wrong with the television sound and the ring tone sound; saying this i did have a part editing the piece as a whole adding cross fades, fades to black and general transitions between shots like with the outdoor scene having a cigarette.

as I've already mentioned the process was short and I'd only come across complications when it came to sound, everything else was generally very straight forward and easy to mend.
