Day 4
The Editing continues, got to work a lot closer with Guy today on the editing of the piece getting his professional input on the film, on how best to build tension in the shot. I've certainly learned that sometimes in fast paced action sequences, more is actually more! Taught me not to keep the shots so short as I had previously thought, rather to extend some of them to allow the content to sink in with the audience and create a more diverse range of clip lengths.
I've also been able to develop my Director-Editor communication skills. Previously in other productions I had been both the director & editor and so I've never really needed that skill before to be able to communicate different sequence ideas to another person. I do personally prefer being the editor to the director, think its a far more enjoyable experience just by the fact you can focus on the actual sequencing of shots and leave the order of all of it to the director, think it makes for a much more effective & efficient work environment.
The film is now so close to be finished, reckon only needs a few more hours just checking the grading on a few shots, checking audio levels (as they need to comply with the Forums audio standards, I'm guessing so we don't blow up potentially several thousand pounds worth of sound equipment!) and of course add the all important credits.
