Sarah from our group went on a city break for an art trip to Barcelona. We wanted her to capture various footage such as plane journeys and city life whilst on her trip. She came back with over 5 minutes of footage from her trip, this is a good thing because we have to make 29 seconds of footage and want to have lots of cuts in the video. If there was say 1 minute of footage then it would make the video really slow and boring. I have edited it down to exactly 29 seconds of footage this is a good amount of time for the footage as it does not become broing and keeps the audience interested in the video. We can see from the clip that we need lots of footage to make the video sucessful. We should aim for 5minutes of footage for each recording section. This way we can use lots of jump cuts to keep our audience interested.
Something the group and I are unsure about is if we are leaving the plane shots for to long. I is important for our video that we have lots of short sharp cuts. To achieve this we need plenty of footage. We may look at reducing the plane shots and then increasing the in city shots.
Overall, we are happy with the footage. We see a lot of Sarah whuich is important as we are showing her life and what she is enjoying doing. The whole idea is selfie type shots so this is exactly what we are after.
