First edit - Test

I was heading to Roundhay park for the day and decided this would be a good opportunity to make a little edit up of the day. I thought I could document the journey as well as the riding at Roundhay in order to give the edit a bit of body and structure. I showed this at the interim crit and the feedback i got was that there wasn't enough ride footage and maybe more emphasis was put on the journey getting to the park than the actual ride. My response to this would be that the i was testing a way of structuring the future edit i will be producing for Fixed Gear Leeds. I also realised that it was hard to film footage while riding along yourself as on a fixed gear bike you have to constantly think about pedaling and then where your going as well as what your filming. I think i will overcome this problem using a car and then filming out the back of it as this can provide more dynamic shots and will mean that i will be able to keep up with the quicker riders whilst filming. It should also produce a smoother shot as a car will feel less of the imperfections in the road. I am still considering using a similar style for the start of the edit by speeding up footage of riders leaving their homes and arriving at the meet before setting off in a big group. I think that the shots on the stationary tripod worked well and this will probably come in handy when filming some of the trick sessions that the group undertake.
