R.E.D. 1 Post- Production



R.E.D. 1

Post- Production 


Robbie was kind enough to help me through the editing process with me, in fact it has become a habit of mine to enlist the help of someone else to  do the work and for me to oversee and give directions, Robbie has had a lot of experience with editing and the accompanying technology  so the process was a very smooth one relatively free from stress, I did take over the reins a little bit towards the end of the process more out of necessity than anything else as Robbie was working on his own film elsewhere. I generally find editing the most laborious  aspect of the production, technology in general tends to frustrate me and I am always afraid that the computer will suddenly shut down and I will lose all my work.

During this process I was able to learn a couple of things that were able to help me finish the credits for the film and also make an accompanying " gag reel ". I felt a bit frustrated that I had not retained the information about the edit suites and how to use them as so many other of my peers had done and I really felt that I needed to start learning how to use them properly soon or I felt that it could be to my detriment, for example: there were several instances during the editing process where I could not export the files correctly, due to me not setting up the projects appropriately.

Overall  I felt what was positive about the project were all the aspects of my practices which I had already developed, I just felt that they were stronger on this film than before, I think that my control and my idea of what the film should be made for a short, enjoyable shoot. Although the post - production yet again highlighted the weaknesses  that I developed in my working methods and they had become ever more apparent, this was something that I was to address and confront in the second part of my project, R.E.D. 2.
