Editing part 2.

During this lesson we recorded our voice over and re-wrote the letter that we had recently posted during our filming. We all sat around a table and timed how long the voice over had to be. After this we all sat and contributed to the letter and what we thought Jenny should have said and what she would of wanted to have said to William. After reading it through and timing it we realised it was far too long and we realised we needed to cut it down in order for it to fit.
We started with a simple yet old fashioned opening, ‘Dearest William’ this fitted in well and it is a soft and subtle start to a letter. We then started by saying how lonely Jenny felt and how much she misses her loved one and how desperately she wants him back home. The next paragraph is about when they first got engaged and fell in love, this shows she is thinking of happy times that they spent together. We then wrote about how Jenny has lost all colour in her life because of William being sent away to war. We also reflected this in the colour being dimmed throughout the movie and felt it described her well. We ended it by saying that she will always love him as we felt that she is obviously so deeply in love with him that she would always tell him that she’d be his forever. After we had recorded this I placed it into our piece and tried to move it so it would be in the right position.
