Editing: Putting the Scenes Together

I have already blogged about editing the scenes together and what we have filmed so far. Our group, like many others, filmed our scenes in multiple days. We had already known from the start that we would have to re-edit, as we filmed more scenes. These filming/editing days were throughout 2 months. We had aso switched to use a different editing software than the first time we edited. This was mostly because we were unhappy with the original editing software. Whenever we get more footage, we always sort it out first before editing. By sorting, I mean that we usually sort out the good footage into a seperate folder, to be used later. On the night we were done filming, my partner Mariapaula, accidentally deleted the footage. This is because instead of moving the good footage into a seperate folder, she just deletes the bad footage. So by mistake she deleted one of the good scenes of me getting into the car and driving away. She knew she had made the mistake and asked the rest of the group on what we should do about it. We initially looked up YouTube videos, which then all seemed to direct us to different websites that were supposed to help. So instead we just looked up websites on our own. These claimed to help restore deleted files from SD cards, but then tried to charge us for year-long membership fees. We as a group decided collectively that this was not worth the price. So in the end, we all decided that we should just might as well not reshoot or try to recover the scene, as the scene was not that important to the film anyways. So to prevent any further mistakes, we then handed the editing job to Rafi to do on his own. He then used a software app on his phone for the editing. Which is what we finally ended us using to produce our film.
