TK - Edit: Party Scenes

Overall, our party sequences were less planned than the house scenes. The continuity overall is looser, and we knew there were certain shots and scenes that would be required, and that we'd planned to easily fit into the sequence as a whole. The party as a whole is edited as more of a montage than the house attack, which allows it to be more of a spectacle at some points - we were both very proud of the incredibly shot and lit scenes when we watched them back.

In our party scenes, we came to the conclusion that it would be best to overlay several shots and soundtracks on top of each other, which would create a bustling and intense atmosphere and really emphasise the verisimilitude of the party. This involved unlinking the sound and visuals of several of our shots, and cutting them to create a sense of rhythm. We had to select these clips carefully, as we needed to make sure Lara - in the role of Giulia - was still prevalent enough in the shots to be recognised as one of the main characters in the scene. This was difficult, as she wasn't always the one motivating the cuts, however with the various close ups and shots that focused on her character, she held enough prevalence in the film to help construct meaning.
