Editing the Master Shot Project

Because of our shooting conditions, editing the Master Shot short film wasn't very difficult except for the sound. Our director decided on a story that would take place outside and in a street in a city, so we ended up filming our short film chained to the "Bran and Park script" by the Boardwalk in downtown Wilmington. On the specific day we filmed, there was a St. Patrick's Day parade going on, and it was windy. So we constantly stopped to let cars pass by, and the wind was constantly affecting the audio quality. Otherwise things went well, and during the edit we got a rough cut done as soon as just a few days after the filming. Because the rough cut was done so early, we were securely able to make our own tweaks to the pacing and trimming of the clips, and while synching the audio was one of the more time-consuming parts, it was handled in a good amount of time. After that we trimmed things around some more and were ready.
