Monday earlier this week I showed my rough cut to Mike and Simon. According to them I didn't have to change much, but I was advised by Simon to shorten one of the shots where they're in the police office and add one more close up in the bedroom scene. He also said he'd like to see more of Carl's face in the bedroom scene, but because of very limited time on setI couldn't get those extra shots. Mike was also pretty pleased with what I had to show, but said I should work on balancing the lighting a bit more when grading and colour correcting to make the lighting continuity better.
Since showing the rough cut I've been mostly working on my audio, running it through Audition to make it clearer and added some sound effects (freesound.org) where I wasn't happy with the sound we got on set. I also worked on what Simon told be and I added the close-up, but I'm unsure whether or not to cut the shot that he want since there isn't really a place I can cut, or another shot a can put in to speed the conversation up...
Other than that I've gotten in contact with two composers who's helping me out with the music. One of the composers is Harry Evans, a kent based composer who will be composing music for the bedroom scene. The second composer is and American composer and music producer named Kevin MacLeod. He's letting me use some of his music for the kitchen- and the tailor scene.
Editing this project so far has been quite good. I'm really happy with how the footage turned out. We managed to avoid grain, but some of the footage needs quite a bit of colour correction before it's finished. Since we were using the DR70 I had to sync the audio before editing. The syncing process went faster than I thought it would since I used a clapper for every shot and therefore could use Premiere's merge-function to merge the audio and footage.
