Documentary Unit: Post-Production - The Edit: Day 2 (May 7th)

Today a lot more was done, Ren was outside the smaller Mac room, altering the script and communicating with us what bits could be good for the film via the Google document sharing feature.

Helen came up to me in the morning wanting to see a rough cut (as we missed the deadline for it in the previous week due to the participants only being able to do May 3rd). There were 3 time slots avaliable: 11am, 12am and 2pm. I opted for 2pm as we hadn't done much yet and could use the time.

With this deadline set we started work on actually creating a chronological narrative, we got some of our introduction done and positioned the finished interview segments 2pm came around quickly though, and Helen arrived to see what we had done, it wasn't much.

The feedback she provided was: too synch heavy at this moment, needs actuality and constant switching between the two. Afterwards we all agreed that we should come up with a clear basic structure for the film.


With this structure complete things became much more easier, now we knew exactly what was going where.

By the end of the day we had completed our introduction; the public reaction section, and started the actuality segment.
