After talking about an issue that we had as a team last blog post I want to try and elaborate more on how we overcame this. After Brennan sent a draft of the opening me and Vanessa noticed somethings that we felt we could improve on.
First of, when editing I feel that we made the clips cut too fast, especially the establishing shot. Personally, I feel that when introducing a film the first shot of the movie should be around 5-7 seconds so the story could be introduced naturally. Which leads me to our next problem that involves the lead up to Asher's killing. Here it felt that a lot of the clips were also cut too short, which is an easy fix since we took over 100 different shots in total. The reason why I think this draft was not up to par with what our group wanted, was honestly miscommunication between the three of us. That's why we decided to talk about these things in order for us to have a more accomplished blend up of our ideas.
Then for our second issue was using the incorrect clips for certain parts. This is understandable in a way due to us having an immense amount of clips and also because during this part Brennan was editing on his own time and we weren't with him to have all three of us agree on the right clip. Once again, this was just miscommunication within ourselves and it's just another easy fix that just needs to be revised.
While, this blog post isn't very long. I think out of the majority of my blogs this one is a very important one. I believe that it's easy to blame a person but not to blame yourself. In this situation I think a lot of the reasons why me and Vanessa weren't so happy with the draft was because of miscommunication between all of us. On my behalf, I think that not speaking up or voicing my opinion cost us time and work. So I'm really hoping that for the sake of the team we can better communicate with each other in order to satisfy our artistic opinions and have a polished project by the end.
