At this stage you can tell this is still in a very rough state. The proper audio from the Tascam has only been partially integrated into the edit at this point, therefore the audio keep switching between the rough sound and the Tascam audio. This version of the edit was also shown to the Tutor who felt that the lack of consistency with the audio at this point makes for a difficult watch which I agree with. However this is a very rough version anyway so we expected it not to represent the finished project.
A lot of the sound is also out of sync with the footage, even in the parts where I have edited the sound in. This is due to parts of the footage being edited slightly, meaning the the audio has been taken out of its place.
I feel the edit of the footage itself is good for this rough state but needs much more tightening in order to help with pacing and also to give more energy to the scenes where the three characters are hallucinating. A piece of feedback that was given to us in regards to the footage itself was that the lack of energy can be attributed the fact that the whole thing was shot and directed ore like a serious drama which does not suit the kind of story presented in the script. I have to agree with this as the edit seems to struggle to keep the energy going with such stilted shots. The edit needs to be more experimental and perhaps try to break some of the conventional rules of editing film in oder to make the edit much more interesting.
I think my priority now is to make sure that all of the Tascam audio has been put into the edit, then the sound quality should have improved and will be consistent. Then I will be able to focus on the sound effects and music which should help in order to add more energy to the project which at the moment is still looking admittedly dull.
