This week I have been editing my footage, I began by editing together the footage I have already filmed so it doesn't look as raw and unfinished. I have created two montages of skating clips, as my documentary is going to be very fast paced, this meant I had to cut quite a lot of the footage, which means I need a lot more than expected.  I have done this by combining a number of small shots and weaving them together to communicate a large amount of information in a short time. The shots are usually not strictly continuous in nature and I don't thinkn they need they be compiled according to subject. A montage can create a whole new meaning out of the two original meanings of adjacent shots just by coupling them together in a flowing, musical way. I will use this visual technique to portray emotion.
