Protective Final Cut:
Friday 5th April: Audio and Video
Having added the 16 mil film clips, I thought the sight of actual humans was quite refreshing, so filmed some more. Having my girlfriend, Ellie, play Grete, and my dad play Mr Samsa, I filmed a few scenes to slot in where I currently had gaps. After this, we did our second recording session for the vocal overlays and bits of dialogue. For the few seconds of usable material, this took almost an hour pf just recording!
This evening, and then on Sunday evening, I finished the edit, putting together everything that I wanted to be there. To add an extra personal 'memory' moment, I added photos of myself from the earliest one I could find, up to the clip shot that day, both as a 'metamorphosing' metaphor, and as a 'life-flashing-before-his-eyes' cliché to finish it off.
After the crit day, I was very happy with the responses, and this now makes up my final version.
