when returning to a process i’ve not gone through for a while there are always moments of realisation about the subtleties i need to get back.
this morning was the realisation that i’d not synchronised the clocks on the two recorders i’m using on this project. not a big problem, i’ve managed to locate and sync up almost all the files from saturday. tiredness holding me back completing all the work this afternoon.
the work today has been to start the process to create edits from footage recorded and this in turn starts to inform what will make it into the film and what i still need to create. with a clear head i need to think again about the shooting schedule.
still no images to add to the blog as i’m focussed on producing the edits that will form some of the initial snu‘s of the film. in the non linear film world each scene is referred to as a small narrative unit or snu.
the workflow for this project has many stages, for my own reflection they are:
- planning / preparation
- filming
- syncing
- editting
- snu creation and compression
- non linear film design and editing.
there might well be more. as i get myself quickly up to speed these are the key points as i see them.
there is another event this weekend and i’m keeping a close eye on the weather as well as i need to film outdoors. my ideal day will be bright, dry and not too much wind.
from the footage i’ve worked with today i can start to see how the film will hold together and it’s feeling very exciting.
there’s not too much reflecting at this moment as there is still so much to do.
