Film re-edit by Callum Norton + Josh Perrée

Our final film was originally pretty poorly and editing wasn't completed, so Josh and Callum re-edited it to make it the best we could in limited time and also well behind the deadline.
We decided to remove the 'infomercial' text, as an infomercial isnt quite what we were aiming for and so the style doesnt really fit the genre, as we made more of a mockumentary style video.
The sound levels throughout the production have been changed, losing the diagetic sound from some clips in favour of the backing music, and adding fades between louder and quiet sections to allow for the voice over to be clearly heard. The sound had to be turned up on the first shot to ensure Alex could be heard, but this level of boosting has added a bit of hiss/background noise too, although there is little that could be done about that.
The bed scene has been edited, removing a shot to prevent it getting boring and changing the cuts so they're quicker and cut to when I am lead still rather than just as I get in to position, as I could be seen moving and bouncing on the springs.
Finally, fades have been added/altered between scenes to ensure there is a definite feel of a passage of time, making sure the viewer can fully understand and follow the story line. The scene outside college had to be edited to fix a slight continuity error, which is still slightly present but not as noticeable any more. - Callum.
