Over the easter I decided to do a rough cut of the film to get us ahead in our post-production once we came back as we had a quick turn around before our deadline and we also had other deadlines looming as well. 

Firstly I went through and renamed all the footage so that I could find my way easier and then quickly went through it to see what we had, I would loved to have sat there and watched it all but we shot 2 hours worth of footage on the shoot day. I tried to follow the storyboard as closely as I could at first because I wanted to have some sort of structure to start it. However I found that the film didn't really make sense when put in that order, and seeing as a lot of footage was improvised I found match framing it to be quite difficult in order to not disrupt the continuity.

Another thing I had to consider was the effects shots. As some of them would include multiple shots at once, I had to just roughly put them where they needed to go in order for Tom to know where I wanted them later on.

I also had to consider length. I didn't want it to be too long as I felt it wasn't necessary, however I also felt it couldn't just be a couple of minutes because the film is so abstract I wanted to give the audience some time to absorb the film.

Overall for a quick cut it was roughly how I wanted it to be, and I felt I gave it a good go at being thorough ready for our post-production stage.
