We used final cut pro to edit our footage of the preliminary task. We checked in all our shots and stored the ones we liked in logging bins. When we put all our clips together we realised they didn't fit together effectively so we began cutting and shortening clips to make the sequence flow.
We made sure to cut on action to try and hide editing techniques, we started with a cut from the swish pan shot to a mid shot of him sliding to a stop. We then cut to a match on action of him slamming down the head phones. We made the cuts here fast pace in order to create a high pace through the begining action. The cuts then slow down to keep it at a calm conversational pace switching between all round angle shots to give all aspects of the conversation and letting us see the reactions of both characters. We then cut to a close up of one characters face to give what he says emphasis with a quick cut back to a mid shot for him walking away.
We learnt that editing cuts into action makes them less noticable and that faster cuts increase pace in the scene.
