Editing Process

   I have now filmed to the point where I have enough footage to be able to begin to edit some of my film opening. So far, I'm able to edit what I have in a way that provides structure for the rest of the opening. What may become difficult in the future is being able to get all the scenes I want in the opening to fit within the two minute time limit. The way I see it, the film opening is not going to flow smoothly if I try to cram in all the scenes I want so I may have to cut some of them out.
   Since I have been editing what I have so far and have been planning what other scenes I want to include in my opening, I realized that editing is important in regards to how a story is told. In the editing process, it is important to develop a plot, characters, and a storyline for the film opening. The point of each scene is to progress the story. That makes me have to choose which scenes I want to include in the opening carefully and also causes me to be more attentive as to whether a scene I include makes the film opening flow better or not. Editing is vital in determining how the opening will turn out.
