Assistant Editor

After production had finished and all the filming had been completed it was time to move on to post-production. My role in post was assistant editor so I sat with the main editor Joe and director Dan and began the process of putting together the first rough cut of the film which came in at 28 minutes. Over the next few weeks we came in every day and some days got more work done than others. 
Joe and I worked closely together to edit the film, discussing what length shots to use after Dan had specified which takes he wanted us to include. Having worked with both of them before we managed really well and are very open to each other's suggestions. I got the chance to actually take the lead on a few cuts and do some of the editing myself. After Dan was happy with the picture cut Joe began the laborious process of colour correcting and I stayed and helped with that too as a fresh pair of eyes was a good idea to help him balance the colours we wanted for the film. 

 After the picture cut was locked I began work on the behind the scenes edit as Joe worked on the colour grade.

On the Kickstarter page, backers who donated £10 or more are eligible for exclusive behind the scenes content. I made two different cuts of the behind the scenes videos. One for public and the other for the backers who paid more then £10 toward the film

 This behind the scenes video is unlisted meaning we can send the link to our backers so they have exclusive content from the shoot. 

 Editing began on March 25th and we finished April 27th

Role Change

At the beginning of production, I was going to be on the camera team and be the clapper loader as well as fill out camera report sheets and assist the camera operator. However, after weeks of speculation, I decided to change roles from a minor role, to a bigger role of script supervisor.  When I was first assigned my role, it was the only role I had ever done in any films I'd been on previously so I knew what I was doing. However, since then I have been script supervisor on other films and because it's dissertation I needed a bigger role to really show what I can do. I have already been doing research into props we are thinking for the film and have done extensive research into what is required of the script supervisor.  I am also the prop master and the set designer for the film which means I have four roles of responsibility on the film: Script supervisor (main role) Prop master Set designer Assistant Editor As my roles cover all areas of production, I believe ...

The Road Screening

We had another screening today of The Road. This is a film I had seen before and liked the look and overall style and colour that it has. We took inspiration from both films we watched in the cinema over the past two days which was a good idea because it really helped everyone to understand the tone and direction that we wanted to go for with our film.
