Editing Progress



In response to the feedback which we received after the mock crit., a few changes have been made to the edit, in order to make our piece more believable and consistent. One of the main pieces of feedback we wanted to work upon was the mixed comments that we received relating to our choice to include a voiceover throughout the piece. After watching back the film several times and discussing how this fit into our concept further, we decided to not fully extract the entire voiceover, but instead just use key words and phrases which would connect to our overall concept in a clearer way. Choosing to just include these, as opposed to a more  consistent running voiceover narrative throughout further helps our film to convey the background theme of memory loss to viewers, as often words or phrases can be repeated during this. We also added a few fades to the sound edit, as well as increasing the volume of the ongoing ticking clock noise which runs all the way through as a background track. This was because this did not come through clear enough in our mock presentation, and it was a key element to our idea associated with the strong connection between the passing of time and memory. In terms of further visual changes, we also increased the shot lengths of some of the shots that we felt were the most powerful in the piece, such as the out of focus lighting shots. This was due to receiving positive feedback about the length of the shots that we used during the presentation, and us wanting to incorporate these further into more of the shots used throughout our film, in order to strengthen it as a full piece.
