Today we were given the brief for the drama project. I am working with mostly the same people with the addition of Jess and we have all taken on different roles from the previous project. I will be taking on the role of editing and to prepare myself I plan to read Walter Murch's 'In the Blink of an Eye', which I had started reading during the term but hadn't managed to finish before I had to return it to the library so this time I plan to take it out of the library to read and reread it as much as I can.
I am also going to make sure that I stick more to my own role this time, as in previous projects I feel I've been taking on too much of other roles; I still plan to lend a hand now and then but I will to stick to my role as far as possible. I am going to ensure I go to all production meetings as I know that as an editor it can be very important to put in ideas if I think there won't be enough cutaways or footage that has been considered for edit. The whole piece must be considered for edit during the pre-production stage and I plan on making sure that the director and producer are keeping in mind my role whilst they are planning so that when it gets to my stage I don't have to cut for continuity and cut around problems and can cut for a polished considered piece.
