Cutting

We recently found out that our film can be a maximum length of 2:00 minutes. Unfortunately our final finished piece was approx. 2:41, which left us with a problem. This meant that we had to choose parts of the film which we would cut, to ensure that our film was nearer 2:20 minutes.

• The first scene what we chose to cut was our establishing shot, with the silver car pulling up for the meeting. We were left with a much shorter shot of the car but it still had the desired effect which we wanted. By cutting this scene we managed to cut 13 seconds out.
• Secondly we chose that the shot at the very end of the film (a darkend picutre of the London skyline ) could be cut right down as this was only put in to make the film look more realstic.
• Next to cut was a tracking shot of Nilesh getting out of the car and walking over to Jinesh. We saved a few seconds with this.

After finishing cutting our film we had to start again on the timeing of the non-diegetic music which took some time.
