Revised Film Outline and Editing Software

      Due to time restraints in the filming process, we have unanimously decided in our Skype call to shorten the film opening. We are going to shorten it from six scenes to four scenes. We will achieve this by combining scenes 3 and 4, and 5 and 6. Scenes 3 and 4 involve filming the establishing shots as well as the initial mountain biking scenes. We will shorten this by removing some unimportant shots and angles, such as some of the aesthetic shots that were originally filler and to make the film visually pleasing. As a compromise, we will have to add only a couple of aesthetic shots, probably during the transition between scenes. For scenes 5 and 6, we will expand upon an idea that was given to us in the group meeting. Instead of trying to reveal a glimpse of the antagonist, we are not going to reveal his face at all; we will only reveal the idea of him and his presence. Our idea for the final scene is as follows: the final crash shot will cut to an extreme close up of the protagonist's face, passed out in a random location. This location will be in a deserted area of the Markham Park forest, and will slowly turn into a spiraling long shot of the boy, revealing his dire situation.
      We are still deciding as to whether we will use WeVideo or iMovie. While Wevideo allows us to make use of various functions and editing options, its interface is not the most user-friendly. iMovie, on the other hand, is very easy to use and has, more or less, the same editing features as WeVideo. We all have experience in using both as we have filmed previous projects on both platforms. We are leaning more towards iMovie because we feel that it is easier to master.
