P4 (b) producing and reviewing an off line edit

Producing and reviewing an off line edit required me to place my logged selection of shots into the timeline sequence in order without applying effects, as I'd based the names of my shots on my shot list this process was relatively easy as I structured them in numerical order. Before applying any effects however I reviewed the entire sequence so to ensure that the story was clear. Once I'd reviewed the sequence I chose to cut down the length of some clips to match the intended pace of the production, to ensure the pace was aligned with the theme and genre of the production. In this case I wanted short sharp cuts to emphasise speed and explosiveness that related to the theme of the ad. In order to do this I used premiere pros 'tools' panel.

However when editing I found that some footage did not translate the story as well as I'd intended so I decided to either remove, replace or reorder the footage to improve the quality of the video.

Below are some examples of when I had to alter my offline edit:

1.

In this scene in the script I'd planned to film a shot of Actor 2 falling off his chair to and use a portal shot to show him landing in a field, however I was unable to shoot this shot thus had to make the following change in the edit:

2.

In this situation I had planned for too many action scenes involving tanks, due to the length of time it takes to create this effect I had to cut out multiple shots from the offline edit.

Here is an example of where I had to change the offline edit as I was unable to achieve what I had planned in my storyboard.

3.

In this case I had to find another shot that I could use to replace a shot that was never filmed due to an actor being unavailable, this mean having to create a place holder graphic until I could replace the shot.
