The projects focus is music based as the friend(Holly) i am work with on this is Guildhall student and her idea was to create a piece of music wich has 3/4 movments in that show the history of our home town Belper with a big focus on the Belper mill.

Looking back at the edit for the belper project i'm very happy with how the inteview parts came out espically after syncing the sound up so well.But i think giving a lot of control to holly over the sound made it harder for me as she cut up lots of the interivew in a way that works well the audio but not so much for the visual aspect so with this being and ongoing project i would do my own visual cut and pick out my own sound bites first to make the visual part just as important.

This also leads on to the type of b-roll/cut away footage i was given as i should of given more direction into what type of footage we needed (so more landscape and a wider varierty of shots and places) so what i could of done was go back up to Belper to do this myself in the future.

Holly pointed me in the direction of a film called London Road(Rufus Noris, 2015) as her main point of inspiration as how she wanted to build her music from the paterns of how people speak translate that to music.

We also looked into vidoes of Belper that were already out there and also got into contact with a local Belper Historian Adrian Farmer who we couldnt meet in person but pointed us in the direction of his Youtube channel which goes into depth about parts of the history of Belper. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCx3pBVY7dUZuwREj13mkwg/videos

Holly was also given some ideas from her course leader of videos that were 70s/80s that were shorts that showed cities that were on the up and being renewed during this time and had a focus on interviews with the local people while also showing the city.

This comes from a friend who is doing thir final project for their Art project at uni. The film has no real narrative and the focus of the peices is the suit she made with the main inspiration being here Granmothers bucket list trip to Brighton before she died.
Laura also sent me a series of voice notes describing how she had the footage filmed and what parts she though were best and while there wasn't much of a narative she said what sort of parts she though would go best where and what sort of look she was going for.

She sent me a powerpoint with some still from the footage her and a friend filmed. And these are shots that i decided to use as well as they worked well with showing of her suit and some of Brighton.

having gone through the footage and the images of her Gran i was able to build and understand what she wanted as a focus fo this shot.

Grey Mare is a short horror film given to me by my friend who is the producer of the project and let me use the footage to edit for Porfolio.
As the whole project came up to 2TB i was unable to download all the footage for this film and there was 6/7 days of footage but i was only able to get up to day 4 and what should of been a 18 minute orignal short film i managed to get the right footage to edit most scenes that make first 6 minutes of the film.

While i didn't submit this for the formative i had also started edit the Belper project as Holly as she had given me what she had editied of the interviews to clips she wanted with the music she had made. Therfore for this i had to sycn up the interview video to what she had edit and i was part way through this process by the formative.

This is the orignal audio Holly sent me to work with.

This is the scrip for the film and if i did the full 18 minute short film i would of cut lines but as i only had the footage to make up 6 minutes i kept close to the script and the orignal submission cut to keep the integrety of the work. i ended up doing scene 1,3,4and 5

This is the project i think shows best my editing skills as my focus and passion is in offline editing. Given that i was limited due to problems with footage i managed to work around this well and build the opeing narrative and conflicts between the characters in a succesfull way.
I wish i had got the chance to get all the footage for this film as i would of loved to explore the horror and creeper elements of the story and also would of been able to explore more into the sound desgin as the 6 minutes i submited didn't call for much experimental sound design. Thoguh i am happy with the sync of the audio and the video as these were given seprately so was a challenge again to make sync everything up then when editing choicing which was the best take when it came to making the right visuals and the digoulge flow.
The best scene for me would be the final scene with them all at the dinner tabel. This scene at the end focuses with a lot of shot revere shot and really made we think on desions on while a character may be speaking do we need to see them espeicaly when the conversation is between two people.

As this project came to me quite late and is also and ongoing colabartion and what i submited was a draft i'm also quite happy with what i've done so far. This project is defefinetly making me chanlenge myself more due to having no narrative and having a mix of freedom but also constriction from lauras own ideas.
Having already recevide some feedback from laura about what i've submited its intresting seeing how to work with others in diffrent feilds as laura is a fine art student and this project is highlighting the importancte of clear client comuntiation for me.

It was during this formative period that i realised i was suffering from a lot of burnout and feeling unmovtivated. So i orignaly planned to do two editing projects and a colour grading project but as i was rushing just to get at least a minute of something done for formative i realised that doing the colour grading project was not going to work and defiently made me realise that my main focus was going to be on offline editing. Its here that i also realised that in the future i need to expolore more into diffrent software espeically avid if i want to grow as an editor but was too late to start learing and pushing myself on new software if iwanted to submit projects i knew were going to be good.
