We submitted three seemingly amazing ideas for our sequence. The car scene from Goodfellas, the opening sequence of Snatch and Vince's speech from Pulp Fiction (looking at our choices it's not hard to surmise the collective gender of our group).
We were confident on our choices and all agreed that we would put the work in and go for something ambitious with plenty of shots. Unfortunately Snatch was the only one to be approved as the others were deemed too ambitious and unlikely to yield results; we were able to choose from any of the approved clips from the entire class but for us the choice was already made and so our saga began.
"This looks fairly simple" we all thought when first studying our chosen clip, "It's going to be so badass and so much fun to do" we pondered. Instead of collectively unravelling the clip to see the tangled web of jump cuts, sped up/ slowed down scenes, freeze frames, zooms and the great number of locations and actors used in the scenes and rethinking this everest of a task, we were busy deciding who we would each like to appear as in what was going to be the pinnacle of our second year editing module.
