Further to our conversation in class yesterday, action points to take forward from the rough cut to final cut include:-

- Continue to work on the edit so that the audience can follow the action (contextualise the bank with an establishing shot, and possibly a close-up that identifies it as a bank); identify your protagonist early on (but not using so many shots of the back of his head)
- Take care to edit your sequence so that the total running time is approximately 2 minutes in the final cut
- Add titles (credits and title with the name of your film). Remember, your final cut needs to look like an opening sequence-
Take care with continuity editing (try to achieve matches on action, avoid jump cuts, use reaction shots for your protagonist, observe the 180 degree rule etc.)
