The progress of editing, chapter1 (rough cut)

At the very beginning of my first editing, I cut each part of my film according to the initial ideas, due to I filmed some different views of the same lenses, so I have some different choices when I did editing. At the part of drugging & locking, because the editing is according to the timeline so I just need to connect each action and make it smoothly. Then, I decided to do a separate screen at the part of when the younger sister struggling and shouting in the suitcase & the elder sister is smoking at the bathroom. At first, the camera is moving from the door to the bathroom, and the elder sister is sitting in the toilet. (I made the cutting matched the rhythms with the background music) then I used the separate screen when the younger sister opened her eyes & gave the close-up for the elder sister’s smoking. In the separate screen I used the 50:50 proportions of the framework for each part, when the younger one is struggling & the elder one is smoking in calm. Then I used a 10-second shot to do a transition, this empty shot which I filmed the outside from night to dawn. The next part is two different emotion of the twin sisters, for the part of elder sister, I used lenses of she is sitting in a chair and rotating connected to she is doing some leisure things, such as grinding nails (dynamic lenses), watching a book, smearing mascara, drinking a cup of wine, smearing lipstick, smoking in the bathroom (3-4 different angles). The other side, the younger sister slowly closed her eyes, she recalled the memories of them: leaves is shaking, they are holding the candy gloss which flying under the sun, the features on the ground is shaking in their shadow, the younger sister feed her to eat candy gloss, the elder sister walk in front of her sister, and the younger one to pull her sister’s hand. After the transition, the elder sister opened the suitcase & the younger fall out of the suitcase and dead. Then the time starts to back, I used the ghosting effects to present & the photos to describe the reason why she is killing her sister: she is jealous her sister have many friends, and she thought her sister just can belong to herself. She doesn’t want her sister talk & have a fun with other persons. At the last part of my film, the elder sister was holding the younger sister’s dead body & the dead body is looking at the camera.
