Fiction Adaptation: Edit

Yesterday I finished my edit for The Graveyard Poem, in this edit I had to overlay lots of different sounds to give it that horror edge. At one point I came across a huge problem when my first rough cut was over six and a half minutes, at that point I really wasn't sure what I could cut. In the end to size it down to the 5 minutes mark I had to cut out a whole scene. The scene which I cut out was the bathroom scene as it contributed the least to the story and also the fact that Sam could be seen in the background of some of the clips (I didn't notice on the day). When I finished my edit I showed my peers and they really liked the sounds I used and the "creepy" feel that put across in some of the clips.
