After an excellent meeting betwixt Chris, Darren and Myself last Thursday evening, I’ve spent every spare moment I’ve had sorting and organising all the shots for the film.
It’s fascinating to see how the film morphed as it was shot, with scenes being improved or added, or simply changed where budget or location prevented ideas being done.
I just finished sorting the last few shots (there was 4 hours 40 minutes of good footage!). I’m really starting to get the film ‘into my guts’ as one of my college lecturers used to say.
Daz and I are planning to work really hard on the first and last ten minutes of the film to begin with, so once an assembly edit is done, I’ll do a reasonably fine cut of those sequences so Daz can be working on the music.
After that, Chris is keen to try out some multi-frame shots and be a bit funky and clever. I’m starting to see which sequences this might work well with.
I’m listening to lots of Ludovico Einaudi, Nitin Sawhney and William Orbit to get me in the right mood, so I’m generally feeling very chilled.
