Editing our Preliminary and choice of music

Georgia Day and Roberta Leary chose to allocate a lesson completely towards the editing of our preliminary task. The footage included lots of jump cuts and the shots did not flow. Georgia and Roberta had to cut some shots to ensure that the clip would not confuse our audience. Our music that we put into our clip is contrapuntal because the music is fairly fast paced, but the action taking place is slow paced. This could be seen as ironic and humorous. We decided this makes a contrast with the serious script and the happy and exciting music. We added the music at the opening scene and the music continues to play as the girl walks towards the room. The music cuts off as the door slams shut. After a few lines of dialogue the girl gets up to leave the room, as she reaches for the handle and opens the door the music starts to play again. This is an added sense of humour.
