Planning Day of Filming We will film on Thursday 30th November. We will meet at the beginning of our media lesson and begin filming.

After filming all the classroom scenes we will then film other scenes and shots in college then moving down to scenes in between college and the interchange. We will aim to be filming in the interchange around 12:30-13:00 that way the shots won't be as busy and there will be more space to film and shoot good scenes. We will be getting the train to Penistone which will both get us to Penistone quicker than a bus and will allow us to shoot the train scenes.

Elliptical editing is a technique used in film editing that allows an event's duration on-screen to be shorter than its duration in the story. The simplest type of elliptical edit is a cut between two shots , both of which show part of the same event. Editors use elliptical editing to control the pace of the story. A long, tedious event that may take hours in the story may be cut down so that film spectators only need to sit through a few minutes. The film is a series of scenes, each of which only show the most interesting or dramatic events. Almost all narrative films use elliptical editing to keep the running time reasonable. In addition to the basic elliptical cut, there are three common patterns used in elliptical editing: punctuation, empty frame and cutaway.
