Editing 2

I have been working on cutting down the 10 minute film and got it to 6 minutes 45. I have noticed that i am missing some key shots in it though and have organised for my actors to come back down for a re-shoot. Here is the latest edit:

Again I didn't have any problems whilst editing and am quite happy with how the edits are coming along. I haven't tweaked with the audio or put music to it yet as until i have got the video to 6 minutes i don't know what will be where.

I took this video into Uni and showed it to Debs in a seminar and got the following feedback:

• Do i need music in the first scene, or could i just use sounds to build atmosphere
• The shot of the boys leaving home is too long
• After the argument use less sound to show the tension
• Change the practice pickpocket scene to make them a bit more interesting
• Hold the first shot of the mum at the graveyard for longer
• Fade in some music as the boys go to the graveyard
• Take out a second when the boys walk away from the drinks fridge in the shop
• Show more excitment when the boys whin the lottery
• Don't zoom in on the AA Meeting peice of paper when the boys come home
