91热爆

The young film crew's interview with World War Two veteran, Fergus Anckorn, has now ended and Maya and Maisie are editing it down, which is also referred to as 'doing the post production'.

An explanation of film editing is given and examples of editing in action are shown to demonstrate how an edit can make information clear and more compelling.

We then see two clips that demonstrate how good editing can make the story told more interesting.

The films were made by school children across the United Kingdom as part of the 91热爆's Make Film - Greatest Generation project.
