Edit updates

#1. Long structure edit

The edit with both Marz and Elizabeth came back today. It is still very long, with not a whole lot of discernible structure to it – as Bradley said “it’s gone from a film about gender to just two ladies having a chat about their experiences.” All of the relevant parts are there however, so I need to just give it a big chop down to really condense the story, make it punchy and concise, and bring the focus back to the issues of gender dynamics in the industry.

 

#2. Consultation with Rohan

After condensing the film down more and focussing on getting the story, without b-roll or music, we had our second consultation with Rohan, wherein he gave us some feedback on the structure and timing of the piece.

 

Following the consultation we immediately went down to the edit suites and all went over the piece together, working through the changes suggested, and making our own adjustments as we went. This was a really great process, and much preferable to editing alone as you have people to make decisions with you and bounce off. Plus it’s just generally more fun.

After these adjustments, I sent the story edit back to Rohan for final comments before starting on the b-roll.
