Esther came up with some really helpful recommendations for the fine cut which I think we will be considering and most likely implementing.
First of all, she mentioned that the quick cutting during the argument could work better if there were more of it and that we should trial it out to see if it would work. I am quite pleased because I did want to take it in this direction.
Secondly, there were some shots she mentioned that could be removed which I think could definitely benefit our piece. I was reluctant to remove them originally because I was unsure if cuts would jar or not but I will try removing them. This includes the final shot which Esther thinks should be changed from the current one to the shot a few seconds previously. At first I didn't notice but I think that's because I was used to this sequencing but now that she's pointed out how different the emotion is, I can see how much more poignant and emotive the piece could be if we held on that shot and got rid of the end one.
There were some points that I don't think I can do anything about because they are holding on shots but either the shot doesn't hold or the actors don't continue acting whilst the camera is still rolling.
However, these are minor problems and I don't think they will be too much of an issue in the finished film.
