I hate the name Lenny. I'm not sure what kind of damaging suppressed memory lives deep down in my psyche that makes me detest it so much for no reason. I just don't like what it stands for. It's fundamental values. However, I have been able to overcome this crippling dislike for the sake of work- and to be honest I am actually quite proud of the result. While I have edited films before, this is actually the first time I have edited together dialogue between two people. Since we obviously shot each dialogue scene from different angles the biggest problem doing this was maintaining continuity. Whilst I was still sorting out camera issues Evelyn is still mastering sound etc. there are definitely parts that could have looked a lot better- but over all I think what we were able to produce was quite good. PS apologies for video quality, I think that we had an issue when compressing to upload to YouTube.


What was great about this exercise was that we were able to really come together as a team and fulfil our individual roles. Considering I have never used one of those camera before, I am very happy with how I have progressed. Similarly I was really happy with how everyone in our group assumed their roles without any problem- John was great on set in directing actors and talking with me (the DOP) about the different shots he wanted; Celine was fantastic at organising us all, making sure we used the correct terminology and keeping us on schedule; and Evelyn worked well with the sound equipment, ultimately producing something that we all contributed to equally. This was a fantastic group exercise to prepare us for the real shoot.
