Editing Workshop
This was one of the workshops which I was looking forwards to the most, as in all fo the work I had done so far, editing was my favourite part.
Initially, I presumed the workshop would be a tutorial on editing on the computer, so I was surprised when we were given the task involving a series of pictures which we were supposed to organise into a line, each picture representing a scene from the film.
After completing the task we were asked to each walk up to the line of pictures and remove and justify the removal of a scene from the film which was unnecessary.
I found this a very interesting and enjoyable exercise as it shed a new light on what 'editing' was, and that it doesn't just mean the task of putting the film together on an edit machine, but that you had to think about what goes well in the film and what can be cut out for the purpose of time or if it is uninteresting, repetitive or unnecessary.
