Finishing editing our prelim

We carried on from our last lesson editing our prelim task. We had to remember the tools we used last week in order to finish it. 
I wanted to make sure I had a full understanding of the editing so far so I made sure I took control at the beginning. After about 10 minuets of discussing with my group and editing others joined in and we all took part together. 
We watched through our prelim so far and were happy with that so did not change anything. The next scene was a moving shot. When editing on a moving shot you have to make sure the action is taking part in the next scene. 
The plan in our prelim was to make the reasoning of the argument in the scene to be ambiguous until the last shot. However, we did not look close enough when shooting at how all the scenes will connect together. Unfortunately there came a point where we realised that we had missed a shot which would connect one scene to the next. There was a discussion with in the group on how to sort this out. We decided to zoom into the door to split the scene where the hand goes up to the projected otherwise it completely didn't fit. 
This was very annoying as we wanted it to be as good as it could be, however it was also a good lesson to learn as we know what to concentrate on when shooting and to think about all the scenes connecting in editing to make the one document.  
Another problem we encountered was with the sound. At the end of one of our shots there was "cut" said a lot before the end of the shot. This meant that we had to collaborate other sound from other shots, this was quite difficult as we had to ensure it was the sound was similar and flowed continuously without interruptions due to the sound.  
Although we had all these problems, the outcome of our piece was much better than I had expected. As only editing for the second time I feel we overcame these problems well and learnt a lot through the process.
