The Editing Process

Having filmed all the scenes with our singer, the final scene, and the dream scene, all we are left with now is the chase scenes in the forest with The Amazons. This aspect of the process so far has been the most troublesome, because we were hoping to have around 15 extras to do this. The problem was that many weren't available on the weekend we were hoping to film, and the fact that we ran over time when filming our singer. 
At the moment I'm not too worried, because we have got a lot of footage to work with and edit, and we are now starting to make some real progress. We had trouble at first with using Premier Pro, because we weren't used to it, and also because it often froze, or we couldn't find the footage, which took up a lot of time. 

Editing the final scene

The scene in the image is a different ending to how we originally planned it. We thought it would be effective to have the protagonist tripping, and then the rose is picked up by The Girl, but we only see her face right at the end. We still have the Amazon in the last clip before having a blackout. 

The hardest thing for me, has been trying to organize loads of people, which is something that came up in our initial presentation to the class. Secondly, I've found that syncing the song with the miming of our actor to be difficult, as there are some parts where it doesn't match up. We may have to film this again to make it really clear, but at the moment I'm hoping that we will find a way!
