Changes in editing for scenes 1 and 2

After reviewing and analysing my first two scenes I have had to make drastic changes. At the moment the music begins with the action but doesn't quite fit with the action and could possibly confuse the audience. Therefore I have removed the music from the first 35 seconds. The sequence has been designed to give a calm, slow build up to the fast action of the montage. Now the original wide angle countryside shots give the impression of silence and calm instead of action. The original sequence seemed to be like a juxta position and didn't seem to work well together. The new sequence also has the original diegetic sounds of birds tweeting and gusts of wind being recorded by the camera. This enhances the feeling of calm and emptiness.

The second adjustment I have made is to dramatically cut the length and even remove a few of the clips. Originally, scenes 1 and 2 took up 4 minutes and I still had to leave time for up to 3 more scenes. Therefore I cut 1 minute of footage out to create more space for the remaining scenes. In fact I think this vastly improves my film because it gives a more fast and lively feel which is what I was aiming to achieve from the film. Finally, I also reduced the time of the transitions to create more space. Again this supports the fast pace of the film.
