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.
