Monday Week 10, Reflection

Today we went over the editing process for the footage we had collected for the shoot so far. Being more of a poetic adaptation of Alaine’s observation it seemed to be a little difficult to completely understand what exactly it was that she wanted from the final project. After seeing what had been edited so far, I was able to solidify my grasp on what she was looking for as the director and creator of the film. This information will come in handy later, and help me be more confident with in my roles for the assignment. We thought all was going well until we showed Robin the (very) rough cut. He pointed out that somebody with absolutely no familiarity with the concept may not understand what we are trying to communicate. He suggested that we find something to link all the moments in the film together to perhaps guide the audience along, and tell them upfront what is happening. There was some discussion within the group afterwards about whether or not we want the audience to know what’s happening, or if the whole point of the film is to make them think for themselves about what is being conveyed.
