Update and photos

I finished two rough edits last week and have been gathering feedback.
Tomorrow I will do two new rough edits, based upon what I have learned so far.
And finally, some photos from the shoot. Orginating format is Super16mm. These images are captuered from the DV dub (offline edit).
Cinematographer: Jun Keung Cheung
She: Emma Ashwood
He: Phil Hayden











Scene 1. She (Emma Ashwood) hasn't been sleeping.












Scene 3. And they survey their lives together.












Scene 4. More is unsaid than said.












Scene 5. He (Phil) does talk a lot, but there is no, or very little, dialogue, in the sense of an exchange by way of words.
Instead what is important here is the tone it adds to the whole.












Scene 6. I was more interested what we understand about others through body language and gesture...












Scene 7. ...and how they suggest other ways of connecting, here two people.












Scene 7. And it develops as well.












Scene 8. The film ends by opening out into the city, the first time that the story has looked outward instead of inward.

Post-update

I have finished three different versions of a rough edit. This week I will be inviting some people around to watch on it my projector and get some feedback. I will update you when this is done...

Editing begins

The news is that the transfer to Hard drive was done on Thursday and I began the edit this weekend. I was quite looking forward to it, until I began the tedious task of syncing the sound and picture.
But that done, I began the edit this morning and finished it an hour ago. I have two slightly different edits. Some of you may think this quick, and it is. But then again, I spent a lot of time thinking of the shots, I did two complete workshops, and shot and edited one of them...I have already made this film twice.
(I have to say that so far my experience of film is fantastic. I have the developed roll next to me on the desk, which is quite sexy. I am working an offline, DV dub, and even that looks fantastic. It would very hard to go back to video after this experience.)
I will look again at the edits with fresh eyes tomorrow. Perhaps I will create another alternative. I will see. But once complete, on Wednesday perhaps, I will burn a DVD copy and then garner some opinions.
