In the middle of Post-Production
I find it really enjoyable editing a film. It's like a puzzle to me connecting shots and sequences together to create a story or an idea.
I'm learning a lot about myself during the process. I know that after principal photography, it is vital for me to have a day to two rest before I look at the shots again to have a fresh eye. Of course the downside of it is that I see the mistake quite late and can't go back on set for a reshoot. Fortunately most of the errors are minors, thanks to storyboarding and they can be fix easily on post.
Using a RED cam, that means I need to edit at school because it has very fast editing suites. I find that I can only sit through editing for about 6 hours. And then I start getting headaches.
At home, editing for me is at night time because I can just focus on the bright screen in front of me and block everything else. As you can see in the picture, I edit in an almost dark room. I like it that way.
So I have a rough cut of The Interrogation, almost 10 mins long. I still want to put some shots! I'm sure I will find a way to shorten it. The trailer is almost ready. Just need titles and credits.
Deadline is not on Sept. 10, but I need to show something on that day for advice and assessment. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Today back on the editing room but will focus on sound and music.
