We have finally finished the video, all edited and on a DV tape at last!!!! I’m quite pleased with the final product. However the 3 minute limit works for our video, I prefer the 4 and a half minute version we had when we started editing. This left some of the pauses in the conversation between the two characters which I think added to the emotional content of the scenes and meant that some of the cuts could be longer and the scenes that we eventually deleted where added back in. Personally I like this version better but the 3 minute version is still good.
We had some ideas to replace the frisbee scene with a scene of a man walking towards the main character coughing to heighten his condition of being careful of MRSA and infections. However we used the frisbee scene which emphasises his paranoia more than the coughing scene.
I’m happy with the final result and its been interesting working with actual actors, but I’m glad we’re all filmed and finished!!!! We are making a dvd to send to the actors at the moment and hopefully it will be sent in the next few days.
Been helping some of the other groups with their videos and so I’m interested to see the final results of those and how well ours looks against the rest of the groups!!!! Andy
