Ben, Maddy and I got our Rough Cut looked into Jon from The Wheeler Centre, and we got to listen to Erin, Annie and (forget..)’s rough draft too, it was pretty funny trying to get the multiple headphone splitter device thing sorted but it was all worth it in the end.
I thought their Rough Cut, or what they had so far was quite good for what it was, Erin I knew had previous experience in something, I think it was SYN, and it was a cool little edit, almost sounded like something you’d have to spruce up on Ableton.
Anyway, it then got to us, and while I’d listened to the Rough Cut already I hadn’t listened to it with the knowledge of potential scrutiny from my peers and also an independent mediator who was to tell us what he thought of what we’d produced so far.
I knew that the whispers and haunted house excerpt was pretty good, and I found my own lines roasting a fictional town/suburb called Parkland was also pretty solid, but something I didn’t realise until listening to the rough cut in that instance was realising just how long drawn my diatribe about Netflix and how binge watching mediums kind of evolved in fact was, immediately feeling an urge to re-record and reformat that little bit, and Jon seemed to agree, but also appreciated or seemed to appreciate the bits that I set out. The static is something that to me feels like an audio version or fade transitions, which seems slightly ironic, but also I guess they can be necessary at times.
