Issues Encountered in Editing and Reshoot Details

 

 One of the main issues that I encountered throughout editing the film was with the sequences becoming nested. When I first started editing, I was used to editing on a later version of Premier Pro where the editing sequences would only become nested if you manually made them nested. Because of this, It took me a while to figure out what was happening to the work I edited as it just seemed to disappear, causing me to re start the editing process a few times within the really early stages of editing.

This was not much of a set back in the long run, as I quickly realised what was happening and how to get the sequence back to its original form; just by dragging it on to the editing timeline and double clicking it to reveal the edited footage.

Apart from this, I didn't encounter many other major issues in the editing process. However, when exporting the film, certain parts such as fades and dissolves that I manually made using key frames wouldn't appear the same as they did in the film and would lag a little, causing slight glitches in certain parts of the video. I just went back into editing and re did some of these effects to make them a little bit tighter so there was less room for error in the final export.

In the end, this only happens once in the film rather than the few times it originally did. I tried many different times to prevent this from happening but did not succeed. As you can see here, the dissolve is not perfect.

There were two main reshoots that occurred when creating our film. One was the original videogame scene that had to be reshot due to Jonny no longer partaking in filming with me and no longer being allowed to use his house. An edited version of this can be seen in the deleted scene. That is why we switched to Liam's house. In a lot of ways, this was a lot better for filming as his house was more freely available to use and the lighting was much better and didn't cause a rolling shutter effect on the video like Jonny's bedroom did due to the lighting there.
