First Key scene Filming/Editing

This is the first bit of filming i have done, and also the first time editing to make the scene come together.

This is what i filmed edited together to make a small scene. I wont use a lot of the clip as i think it looks cheesy and unprofessional. However i think some shots will look good together and i will edit differently too see what works. I might re-film the start as i really don't like how they look when they are laughing as it doesn't work. But i will use some of this for my official trailer. I think the main problem with this is that the shots are too short, and look jumpy which i don't like, i need to improve this and make it flow.


I've started editing different shots together to see how it looks and works. I think this one looks good and is the type of thing i would use for my trailer. I added a vignette effect on the shots and added fast forward on clips except for when the book falls. I added slow motion, to have an instant change to the clip, to add a weird look to it. I think this is effective. 
This is the result after editing.



I really like the use of sound here, except i think the sound of the book dropping doesn't work. so i think i will change or remove it. I also want to try it slowed down and include some more clips. But i like it without the sound as it adds more of a sense of mystery which i want to include in my film and trailer however but i might try it with a voice over on top, too see if that works, but not of them talking about the find the book, but Esther saying "imagine if you found a book, and it was a book about your entire life. Would you read it? " Like what i say in my pitch.
