I had a dental appointment this morning. As a result, I have another dental appointment on Friday.<\/p>\n
Plus \u00e7a change plus c’est la m\u00eame chose<\/em>, eh?<\/p>\n I am supposed to be going to a multiple film-screening this evening. The Witney Film Festival kicks off at 9pm. I just wish it wasn’t starting so late. That’s why I said ‘supposed’, the lateness of the hour.<\/p>\n However,\u00a0I’m keen to see what the calibre of the audio- and film-editing can produce. I’m also very interested in what the writers have come up with.<\/p>\n I have spent a lot of time, in the last few days, reviewing my own film-editing projects. I have decided to park the edits on all projects; return to the original footage, and restart the editing process.<\/p>\n Consistency. That’s what I’m learning. Consistency.<\/p>\n The difference between an average edit and an above average edit is not about the changes. The difference is not about the scene transitions.<\/p>\n The difference between an average edit and an above average edit is how the atmosphere is maintained. It’s about ensuring the atmosphere remains a consistent thread throughout the piece.<\/p>\n This consistency has to be delivered on two tracks. Video. And audio.<\/p>\n The raw footage I’m working on is inconsistent. To produce a finished product, an edited package of video and audio consistency, from a base package of audio drops, fades, clicks, buzzes, background noises, and a video base of lighting shifts…<\/p>\n It is not only impossible.<\/p>\n It makes me appreciate just how good some – above average – pieces of work are.<\/p>\n I have been looking at previews of some of the submissions to the Witney Film Festival.<\/p>\n Based on what I’ve previewed, the phrase ‘above average’ isn’t an accurate enough description for the outstanding calibre of work that I think I will be watching every night this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I had a dental appointment this morning.
