Felicity and I have decided to make another short film to accompany the one we made at Orfordness Lighthouse in June. So we spend the time we have at Montauk Point Lighthouse capturing moving image material in and around the lighthouse and museum that we review over the next few days whilst we’re staying in the same place. It’s so much easier to make editing decisions and discuss whilst we’re looking at the same screen.
As we found in Orford, we’re drawn to similar visual imagery and when we review the material we find duplication in how we’re trying to capture what we see digitally.
It’s almost like we are providing two ‘takes’ of the same, or similar composition, which helps in the limited time we have here. We’re both slightly anxious that time and resources are limited, and we want to have something tangible after our week in Orford and Montauk.
