Sound

Today, Natalie, James and I met with Rhys to incorporate the sound into the piece. Rhys had transcribed the interviews (pictures below) and this proved very useful as Natalie and I could begin to narrow down which elements we wanted to put into the piece whilst James and Rhys worked on syncing up the sound to the imagery.

(Double sided transcripts!)

(Restructuring written concept)

There was a slight problem in that the sound was recorded in some instances on the marantz independently of the images and the crew hadn't used a clapper or click to let an editor know where to link up the sound. Some of these problems were solved by the actions of the performers (such as a drummer counting in on his drumsticks) but the process was still painstakingly slow and took the best part of 3 or 4 hours.

James began a rough edit but we also began a second sequence so that we might try out the new structure to see if that worked better than James' current one before deciding to continue tomorrow.
