Fiction adaptation: Church tower shoot

When handing my risk assessments, I was told that I would not be able to carry out my idea to film a sunrise from the top of Milton Church tower, due to the possible dangers that could occur, even with safety precautions being in place.

Because of this, I have had to go to my back up plan, which is to contact an old friend from primary school, as I have often seen him post drone films on his facebook, so I have asked him if he either already has some footage of a sunrise over the town, or would be able to film a sunrise for me. I messaged him earlier today, but have not heard back from him yet.

Just in case I am not able to obtain footage from my friend, I have another back up plan, which is to film a sunrise from the green opposite my house, as I'll hopefully be able to get a shot of the sun rising up over the line of houses. It may not have the same desired effect as a sunrise from the top of the church tower, but it should still be able to create feeling in the audience

Editing Workflow

There are several steps that an editor needs to take when working on a project, and they need to be taken well so that the work is carried out at the best quality and best ability of the editor. It is always good for an editor to have a good workflow, as this will save so much time and effort in the long run, when carrying out this workflow becomes the standard way that you carry out an edit. Doing this will also cause you less stress inn your production, which can also help your editing, as when you are stressed about it, there may be some things that you miss during the edit. All of this being carried out is what will create a better post-production experience. Through some research into editing workflows, I found that there are 7 steps to the process, which when carried out, check all the boxes of what an editor needs to do.  1.
