Edit Plan
Opening – Montage – actor Audition tape – simple colour,
correction make it not look flat, keep the spectator focused on the centre of
frame. Jump cuts, simulate the simplicity of audition tapes.
work with the movement of the actor. If they incorporate hand gestures and movement into their performance.

Apartment scene – This should all accentuate the
claustrophobic area of Charlie’s loving arrangement, Showing the struggles of a
starving actor. Colour correction and all aspects of colour should be done to
try and hide and disguise the student accommodation. Possibly a heavy yellow or
orange tint to make the location seem more run down and “grimy” then it is.
This would be pulling inspiration Whiplash.
This scene is also going to incorporate a match cut possibly, meaning some changing and resizing of the image may be necessary to make the match seamless.

Audition hallway – This should possibly open with an
establishing shot of the building the audition, however we could also directly
link these two scenes with the door closing. This scene should start being
focused on Charlie, and shouldn’t switch over to both until Charlie take full
interest in who sits next to him. He should be engrossed in the script. Each
shot should block out who is speaking until Charlie takes an interest. This
could start to explore the idea of one person starting to take over the
narrative and the power struggle of personalities.
The colourisation of this scene should be slightly different from the previous scene to try and create contrast, however depending on location, it could still look “grimy” to try and show the quality of the auditions Charlie is going to, as well as the overinflated ego of the producer.
When Robert the producer does enter the scene, he should slowly take control of the scene to reflect his over bearing personality. He should control the scene until he exits. This however will depend on performance, as the producer should be more controlling and confident. This would hopefully shine through the monologue about Meryl Streep.

Audition green room – The flow of this scene should be
entirely dependent on Robert the producer, he should be in complete control.
There should be a focus on him and how in this situation he holds all the
power.
The colour should somewhat match the previous scene, however it should possibly be more orange tinted since it would reflect the harsher lights above, as well as represent the harsher environment and tone of the producer.
Charlie should have the sense of confidence as he walks until its quickly taken away from him. This could be represented again through the power struggle, and how to focus will drastically shift more to the producer.
This should be the fasted edited sequence except for the opening montage, the increased tempo would reflect the stress and intensity of the audition environment and the speed hopes and dreams can be crushed.

Audition leaving – this scene should be as few shots as
possible, with long takes to represent the crushed feeling and how hopeless
Charlie is in this moment. Possible jump cuts as Charlie moves further down the
hall to how distressed this encounter makes him.
