We began to edit our shots on Adobe Premier and place them in the order they will be shown. This was especially challenging as we had filmed over an hour of footage, most of which was unusable due to several reasons; some of it was out of focus, lots of the shots were shaky and in some background noise could be heard. We set about filtering out the the unusable shots by finding our the best take of our establishing shot and then excluding the takes of the second shot that either did not flow fluently from the first one or were of too low a quality to use.
Due to the fact that we haven't yet filmed all the required content of our film, we had to speculate on where the new content would go once it had been filmed. This lead to us editing the piece with gaps where the new shots will go. This made editing even more difficult as it meant we could not edit chronologically, rather we had to edit in an unconventional sequence, jumping back and forth and deleting certain clips there were found to be useless when considering the placement of the new shots.
All in all our first stage of editing was very productive; we were able to filter out unnecessary shots and put the useful ones in an order that resembles greatly the basis of our final idea.
