Eleven is a film that has very specific intent in the ways that its edited and the ways that we have paced the story from script to screen. As we shot the first scene to be able to intercut it with titles, we in turn subliminally created a collage or collection of footage that we were able to give a montage feel to, this was able to set the scene and the mood for the whole film. When we first began editing on film we started to notice that the pacing of the film was quite slow. The original reasoning for this was because of the long takes that I had kept in the edit. Jacob, the director, likes leaving shots longer than expected, this really allows for the audience to grasp the characters emotions and thoughts during the scene. Although this was a directorial choice that he made we had to slim down some of the takes because it was eating into the pacing of the film, which we wanted to be quite fluid.
