hey guys just brief brief edit notes. will plan more when i have the script etc...

After speaking to Jim I imagine the piece to be quite comedic in the way it is shot and edited. I will try and work together the shots the best way to bring across the comedy. Jim has talked about using shots with the camera strapped to the character and following them as they walk. For shots like this I imagine fast cuts in between characters and the action that is happening to make it more interesting and effective. As the film is a drama i don’t feel that there will be a need for effects as i think this will take the comedy too far and almost become silly. I want to be able to use what has been shot and edit it together to become funny without the help of any other effects. Jim has also talked about the colouring of the shots and the difference in warmth between the office and the party. This is something i will reflect in the edit.
When I think of this piece I think of the comedy ‘Peep Show’ as the point of view shots will be very present in our piece. I have been watching ‘Peep Show’ and how this technique works and how it has been edited together to be successful. I will also be watching things such as ‘The Office’ for typical office scenes. I will research short films related to the style that we are looking to create.
Once the script has been written I am going to be able to plan more what i will be able to do with the edit.
