One of the main problems with our current edit is that it is too long. We where aware of this problem just hadn't yet addressed it. The blending transitions helped us overcome the problem that we have far too much footage. After cutting down all our initial footage we had nearly four minutes and the opening needs to be about two minutes. Therefore we made the decision to jump cut a lot of the footage which meant each activity was much faster. This would normally be quite counter typical and perhaps reject the conventions of film noir crime however the transitions maintained a fluidness and therefore i feel the shots don't look unconventional.
There where also a few places where the levels of contrast did not stay continuous due to different lighting being picked up in the initial photography. Therefore we went back to our colour corrector and adjusted the levels of whites and blacks.
