As we filmed over 3 days, we had to upload what we had on each day to the computer. We started off by deleting extra footage that we did not need, for example, rolling the camera before actually lip synching. This took a long time to decide which parts to delete, and what parts to keep, as Me and Paige shot atleast twice for every scene, so we had variation and extra if anything went wrong. To decide which scene we would use from each shot, we concentrated on the angle, the timing, the lighting and the mise-en-scene. Also, we played with contrast and effects to see how each shot would look with the effects we wanted to put into it.
To edit our whole production, it took about 10 hours all in all. When we had edited and cut down our shots, we decided to put them into storyboard order. We followed the stages up to the first chorus, from then on, we used new ideas to see what order shots would look best in. We had to consider continity and the storyline- would our audience understand the happy vs sad scenes? Our lip synching scenes had to be put in order of lyrics, so "Cry me a river..." obviously had to fit in with the chorus. When we filmed, we kept the camera rolling for the chorus so Dani could lip synch the whole chorus, therefore this gave us more footage to handle and edit.
Once our scene were in order, we started to cut them down to the music, so that each change of scene would fit in with the beat of the music as well as the lyrics. I found it difficult to edit very precisely, so that the shot would change at the correct time so I overcome this by making the scenes shorter or longer. It was rare that we sped up scenes, as slowing down the duration fit in better with our aesthetic style and mood.
