Fine tuning

Beginning the fine cut today, I was very happy with how things were beginning to look. I am trying to get a picture lock by Monday at the latest so that James can begin work on the sound. He has been sitting with me during editing and I've really appreciated his input. 


There was one minor hiccup where we noticed that the letterbox bars were grey and this meant that the formatting was off on these sequences. For some reason, there were some grey letterbox bars on only some of the sequences and not others, so we spent a fair amount of time redoing the sequences with correct formatting. We checked the in and out points of the clips and had to use these to get the same clip into the new sequence. 


Aside from that, things appeared to be going well - I cut out a lot of the exposure problems and tried to be a bit bolder during the cut. I held the last shot that Esther had recommended and gotten rid of the shot that had been there previously as this seemed more poignant.

 I tried out the quick cutting in the argument and I really like how that's turned out, pictured below.
