Editting "Lazy Days"

My part in the editing process was tweaking the main bulk of the film that was predominately edited by the boys (as I was ill when they got the bulk done). Choosing the track was also something that I chose to fit with our film inspiration "Withnail and I" (taking a key element from it and incorporating in our own), whilst also helping cutting it in, enhancing the comical effect of some sections of the film. I also imagined the comical music to sound similar to the theme of "Curb Your Enthusiasm".

I also thought of having the TV 'sequence' playing the television shot as a thin opaque layer on top of the bottom one; adding an interesting slant to the shot, as it was looking boring previously. This sequence also added to the dreamy, slow paced movement of his lifestyle, which in turn also showed the movement of time passing too.

I also tried to brighten some of the shots by playing around with the contrast and brightness and also the hue and saturation - adding the tiniest blue twinge to a few of the shots - making it seem colder and lonelier as if his life was empty.
