#8 Editing the Master Shot

The master shot was a more challenging assignment; luckily this project is a step up from the documentary shoot, as it requires more time and effort to concoct. Due to the tedious work involved in the master shot sequence (and my idiotic mistake of shooting without sound), the editing was obnoxious during the first half of the process. Pairing sound is always a very time-consuming task the pushes the boundaries of patience; all filmmakers should have this virtue. Usually the rough cut of a short film has an extremely high chance of being a whole, that is if not for the final editing/cut preceded within post-production. Near the end of the "rough cut", there were more minor adjustments needed that involved a few overlaying techniques; this was one of the few tasks performed during the beginning of editing. Sound was the major problem in post-production, as it halted most of the other jump cut and dissolve edits throughout the short film.
