Journal for last week

This week we have been working on all of the footage, we have been trying to shorten down the sequence as much as we can. So we have been looking through separate scenes and separate shots, deciding where jump cuts will fit. Such as the scene in which Si Hin is counting his piles of money, we have added jump cuts here to speed it up. So it looks very clean cut and speedy, this makes it look far more high tech. It goes along with the crime and triad theme, as it makes it quick as if they have to be quick and get out of the way,otherwise they will get caught. I liked this idea, it also makes Si Hin's character look more of a professional as if he has counted this massive amounts of money lots of times. As if it is completely normal to him. Thus making him look more like a criminal.
