Construction: Editing - "The End"

The end of the documentary marks Tom's overcoming of Autism and to follow the journey into his new lifestyle, I decided make a physical journey with Tom to the airport, cutting back inbetween to shots of him enjoying himself with family.

After the brief shots of the NERF gun fight, we see Tom in the car, heading through the night to the airport, cutting at the speed of the beat in the music and this creates an aesthetic look and feel to the camera work. I also sped up some of the footage in the car to create a more visually interesting effect of the journey, also using focus pulls to show the "bokeh" of the street lights. After cutting to shots of Tom playing the PlayStation with his brother, we see Tom walking past various pieces of Airport scenery under the full moon of night, and by the glowing neon of the runway lights. I decided to end the film with Tom's silhouette hovering over the runway and this created a strong connection with his interests in aviation, I felt this was the most appropriate way to sum up the story.
