Reviewing the footage

In film making, a vital lesson i learned early on, was the importance of over-filming to an extent where you can choose from a variety of footage instead of being forced to pick. When we were filming, this idea was prominent, recording multiple takes of each scene was important for creating a film that we had the ability to pick and chose from the best clips, keeping in mind prominent ideas such as continuity and importance of each shot.
  As we begin editing, specific ideas were kept in mind, such as developing the story with editing techniques that develop meaning and overall contribute to making a story with meaning. We plan on using popular editing techniques such as eye line matches, crosscut editing and cuts to properly edit our film to become cinema quality. Editing will help create meaning in our film and with the use of picking the best clips will help us create the best film opening that we can.
