Feedback with Non Fiction Project

After the feedback we decided to shoot some of the scenes again. We are arranging another session to film the training parts again. We decided to switch our roles in the filming to gain more experience and to experiment with the kit. My new role is director, Ash is production, Rob is editing, Luke is sound.
The documentary had bad sound quality because we did not use the right equipment so the tape and air conditioner could be heard on the film. Rob has improved the sound quality which he emailed me http://www.mediafire.com/?3bmdmcdbfft
We had alot to edit to get the film down to 3 mins so we decided to cut the beginning in which he explains who he is and use text to fill in the gaps and keep the continuity. The rough edit lacked visuals and mostly concentrated on the interviewee so the group decided to shoot some of the street scenes again because I think it plays an important part of building a image of the area. The rough edit had too much of the interviewee talking so we place breaks in the film. I think that the breaks give it a much more relaxed unrushed approach. In the break we will fill the parts with images of the area and the interviewee training with the children. The training shots we had to use were out of focus and the white balance wasn't set, the quality of the film wasn't great so I decided that it would be better to shoot it again as that was a important part of the film.
While the group is finishing editing and the paperwork I will be working on the research, storyboards, the presentation and planning for the re-shoot.
