editing, changes made to initial ideas

We had to make changes to the opening sequence as there wasnt enought time for the camera to pan the whole way around the main characters head and get a shot of the whole room. Instead, the shot finishes just as the camera is about to get a shot of the room. We also had problems with the miming in this sequence. After uploading our video we saw that the miming wasnt in time with the words, and it wasnt as simple as fastening it up or slowing it down, because she didnt mime at the same speed throughout. So we had to workout a perfect speed for each seperate word. We then stumbled upon two perfect shots of her looking side to side and edited them so they fit together and perfectly with the word "ni-i-ght".

The next scene was supposed to be the main character miming to the song, shouting at her boyfriend, but the shots we took for the line "i lost my fake i.d, but you lost the..." didnt work atall, as the miming was completely out of sync. We looked through our footage and found some shots of the characters arguing, which was appropriate and so used them.






We also had to change the scene where the character gets out of bed and trips over someone dressed as elvis, for wo main reasons. One was the fact that we couldnt get hold of an Elvis costume in time for filming, and the other is that there wasnt enought time in the scene for the character to get out of bed and walk. We had to make it shorter so we could get to he next scene in time. So instead, we used a long shot of the characters in the bed.
