Off the Hook

Synopsis

The Experience

Through unforeseen circumstances I was required to edit my own Advanced Production film so when the time came to edit someone else’s for my Editing II class I already had some experience of what to expect which helped me tremendously.

I worked well with the director bringing his vision to life. He was helpful too in that he was very open to suggestions and thanks to that the final cut turned out far better than initially expected. There was a subplot that the director vied for throughout the whole editing process, but that due to lack of coverage made editing the key scenes for it to be comprehendible was not possible. I suggested to him that it might be best to cut the subplot entirely and add one line of ADR to better piece together the story to which he agreed. Both our professors were astounded by how the film turned out.
