Editing has been an altogether smooth process, with my collaborator handling the bulk of the editing, as he has significantly more experience. However, we have worked together in the same room, making decisions. Editing did not require any complicated techniques and was a simple process of finding the right time to cut between shots, allowing the video to flow seamlessly as one continuous cut. This was usually done by finding the pocket in a scene where the lights are blacked out while they are strobing and stitching it with the beginning of another scene where it is equally as dark or the camera is obscured by something. We also decided to use lower-framerate clips with a lower opacity over certain shots in the video to make it more disorienting and give a subtle nod to Wong Kar Wai’s style of filmmaking techniques.
