I went to go to editing suites at school with the aim of finishing off my final edit today. It was day three/four of editing and I needed another opinion on my work. Being the only one looking at my work for several days straight I started to question the choices I had made and  I think I got stuck in this tunnel vision view of my work.

I knew Jess was going to be editing there as well so we decided to critique/provide suggestions/give feedback on each other’s work. It turned out being a very productive session as I needed to see if from an outsider perspective my work flowed and transitioned smoothly. And Jess needed some feedback on her narration.

I really needed to step back and look at my work as a whole cause I could get carried away on certain details and not be able to see the whole picture. Definitely getting anther viewpoint helped get a better view of the overall work.

The final edit is nearly done. Just a couple touches to the ending – putting credits in and Jess even suggested end on a photo or something that symbolizes Jennie Baines as a whole and her spirit. Right now I have just a tracking stop motion out of the building.
