This morning i went into the editing suites early to put some finishing touches on our interview rushes after our unfortunate deletion indicent last week. Although we lost the video footage of our interview with Ariel we still had the audio so I replaced it with B-roll footage in the sequence I had made earlier.
We showed Rohan our interview rushes and he gave us his advice on the next step in production. He suggested we don’t worry about the visuals and things like colour grading for the moment and concentrate on getting the structure of the interview clips down pat. I had already prepared a sequence with a loose idea of how we wanted to structure the final product. After discussing some finer details we decided on the following main structural points:
- Ariel talking about Melbourne being grey & the importance of colour
2. Ariel introducing himself & his history with the markets
3. What makes Coogi Jumpers special
4. Reflection on how they used to sell and looking forward hoping to continue
In previous studios when I have edited a short film I didn’t really sit down and map out the basic details of the story before jumping in to arranging sequences which often made me get ahead of myseld and become overwhelmed. We’re hoping that sticking to this narrative structure will assist us in staying focused throughout the rest of the editing process.
