LINE EDIT

With our footage ready we started our line edit. The line edit mainly focuses on the pacing. By taking into account content and style. Affecting the lenght of the shots, their order and how are they transitioned. Our western line edit should focus in long shots regarding time. As well as show the passing of time. Enhacing a slow pacing that would affect our style and content. The passage of time is necessary as our main character is engaging in a long journey and she has walked a long way to reach the location we see in the film. Almost the first minute of the film opening shows part of this way she's walking.

In our script a lot of actions are described, but we dont bother in getting a lot of inserts, as this would make us get a lot of cuts. We only got inserts for important elements.
