Brief 3 - Comedy Edit

For our final brief, we have been instructed to fine cut one scene from the comedy 'Out Of Date'. We were informed that the dinner scene was very difficult to attempt, due to the difficulties in continuity and the fact that the room itself was too small to properly capture a quality scene.

Taking this on board, I have decided to choose a different scene and perfect that. After looking through each scene, I've decided that the opening scene in the car park is the best one to edit. The scene seems interesting enough, and it uses itself as an introduction to the rest of the film.

The scene I have chosen to edit.

The final edit must be near 2 minutes long, so if I haven't reached the required length after the edit I will implement scene 2 into the film, the one in which the pair return to the house in their milk van.

I'm looking forward to working individually on this edit, as I'll be able to see my own capabilities and solve any problems I come across on my own. I've never edited a comedy before, so this is new to me. I expect the timing of the cuts to be one of the key factors in achieving a good edit.
