We were tasked with making an edit using the video files from the film monk, it was to show us how each person has a different style of editing. I chose to make mine a more meaningful scene by showing expressions of the two actors faces after each said something.
The opening shot was an establishing shot to show the audience where they are, so that they have some context of were the rest of the shots will be. It then leads on to a back and forth conversation that the shots over lap one another to show the expressions of the actors whilst keeping what they say and the expressions of them saying it. It then starts to speed up as they almost end up in an argument weather or not he will except the invitation at around 25 seconds. I then decided to let the shots last longer and longer as it got more serious. Then as he says that they have ran out of time at about 55 seconds the shots start to decrease in length until the final shot were it shows the stressful thinking of the actor.
In my original edit i was given some feed back to remove some of the hard cuts and overlap some of the audio and videos so that there is a softer transition making it seem as though the shots last longer.

Here is the hole timeline:
Then i was told that towards the middle, the shots kept changing to quickly so then i decided to cut a couple out and stretch the others to match the audio of the files that were originally there.
After doing this i was given some good feed back from other students who said they liked the length of the shot changes through out and that the audio fits really well with the shot changes and expressions.
Here was the original scene:
