At the moment the conversation was not super effective with the other editors. Most of us have not really started editing. This did reassure me though because all of us are pretty much in the same place. We discussed the creation of opening credits too.

RESEARCH ON EDITING:
In 2012 Silver Linings Playbook, edited by Jay Cassidy and Crispin Struthers, was a nominee for best editing. Editing controls what the audience sees and therefore what they feel. In a juxtaposition of two scenes in the movie where Pat and Tiffany have a conversation compared to Pat searching for his old wedding video. Bruce Handy explains, "The first half, on the street, has a slower, more measured tempo, cutting back and forth between the two actors. The second part in the attic is frenetic and jump-cutty." This shows how the editing can effect the audience, through different types of cuts. In our movie we have to express a lot without words. To show Adela's isolation and later on her happiness in making a friend we will need to alter the types of cuts.
