Editing initially seemed like an easy task, however, the more and more hours we put into the more complications seemed to arise. Our first major problem lay in the fact that there is a drop in tempo around three quarters of the way through the song which we couldn't seem to find anything that 'fit' properly. Firstly, we though it may be a good idea to put a montage in this section. However, it did not look entirely right and appeared a little out of place. This was a little bit of a panic to us as we struggled to find an idea that would work. In the end we decided to write down of thing which we wished to change and what needed doing. Really though, for our first cut we just wanted to put down the first layer and see how it would look. It was also interesting to see how our shots turned out. Luckily, we were pretty happy with most of our shots and most seemed to fit the genre and feel of the song.
After completing our first cut, we realised that it was very rough. This was OK since we really only needed to get the basis and first layer down first before we could progress. On reflection, we realised that there was not nearly enough cuts. Also, the cuts that were there were slightly out of time with the tempo and rhythm of the song. We also thought that some of the shots we were using were too wide for intimate points in the song. Similarly, we needed to make sure that weaker shots were not used, unless it was absolutely essential. Perhaps our main problem lay in the fact that we could not really find what belonged in the 'slower' section of the song, the point where the tempo drops. For the moment we decided to add a stereotypical montage, however, we agreed that this was not the greatest decision.
