Today we have been doing the last of our editing, we had to cut a lot of footage down as we found out that what we thought was our finished film was about three minutes. Luckily there were a lot of shots that we could cut excess footage off, there was also a shot that we got rid of. We did this because the shot held no meaning and it didn't look as good as we had hoped, i think this was the best thing to do as it also cut a few seconds off.
We also increased the speed of the title so the overall time was greatly reduced, we had some experimenting with this as if the title was too fast then it wouldn't look as good. Once we got the exact speed we wanted it also took a large chunk out of this.
Eventually after cutting a lot of the clips down, we got the whole piece down to about 2.20 which is in the margin we were allowed. I think that all the cutting we'd done has improved the overall piece because it now seems to flow a lot more, it is a lot smoother.

Good all of you - I think you have done well with this.
