Shot List - Editing elements (Implementation Scene #2)

                                                              Implement the Editing!!

Context: In my previous blog posts, the Shot List (Planning 1), Shot List-Editing elements (planning Scene #2) and Coverage Shots (Research) and Size Shots (Research), I explained the elements that I must include. This blog post details that implementation of everything above.

Important: This blog post will only cover the implementation of this concept in Scene #2.

In the image below it can be seen the Problem- Solving strategy, since originally the Director forgot the clapboard, we use a sheet of paper and hand signs instead, and the end it still accomplish the purpose, but also it results beneficial since when I was editing, I was able to see that the shots that weren't showing the clapboard were from scene 2.

In the video below, it shows how the footage was included without cover shots (as originally written).

In the video below, it shows the footage with the coverage shots:

Note: As mentioned before the reflection on what works and what doesn't, regarding the different options will be carried out in a subsequent post. 

Takeaways & Lessons: Having successfully implemented few coverage shots, during editing I was able to better visualize their impact, specifically how they fit the context and the thriller.

Editing it was a bit more complex because, even though it was only one scene, its location was about two-quarters of the way through the scene. However, by editing it in the planned order and emphasizing the key points, I have a very feasible option that can improve our production.
