Post-Production Progress and Feedback


The feedback we received from after the production stage was largely positive. The best piece of feedback we received was about the contributors as they were described as being warm, engaging passionate and to quote ‘documentary gold.’ The framing of each interview was highlighted as being a strong part of the filming, however one particular interview was slightly disrupted by overexposed objects in the background that did distract the eye. Overall sound was commented on as being excellent; really crisp and clear, which is important as that is one of the key parts of the documentary. Our cutaway footage was great and so we were ready to begin the post-production stage. For the post-production stage, we were advised to start the process of storyboarding, creating an assembly and transcribing the interviews. Members of the group have taken an interview each and are beginning to write them up, highlighting or note taking the most important parts. These will later be condensed down into a cohesive and structured story. Additionally an assembly of the film will be made with key parts of the interview put into place so that we can begin to decide which cutaways can be paired with parts of each interview.
