Editing has been pretty hard as the footage was pretty inconsistent. There are a number of shots with things in the background which couldn't be used. For example there is a scene in the kitchen where you can see the lights in the background in almost every shot. This is the reason that this scene is mostly close ups of Phil and Trev. Also there wasn't enough takes of each scene to make editing an easier job. For example whilst editing I wanted to have the final shot of a close up of Phil however there was only one take of this and he doesn't read his line very well. Therefore i couldn't use the shot. It would have been helpful if while filming we could have thought about the editors and the need for more than one take as there is a few circumstances where this problem has come up. Another shot i think could be improved is the close up of Trev in the first section of the film. It isn't really a close up compared to the close up we have of Phil and there is too much empty space around his head.
Looking at the footage and now it is edited together a bit more i feel that the good date scene works best. I think the script works really well and it fits in really well with the scene before and after as such a contrast. For example the scene in the bathroom of him saying how he likes tennis in a jokey way to cut the the dream date of him saying how he likes to keep fit. I also quite like the shadows on the wall behind them and there is a clear difference in the lighting between the good date and the bad date to show the different atmosphere and situation.
I think the script written by Theo and the actors help make this piece. I dont think that it would have worked aswell if we hadn't have had Matt and Tot help us out.
