Two days editing with Holly, one of the two editors we'll work with later, and we've assembled a rough, seven and a half minute sequences from the St Mary Redcliffe rushes. It's very raw but it's not bad -- and it's an immensely useful lesson for the filming to come.
Father Simon's interview feels very strong (we'll be lucky if we find many contributors as good as him) and some of the shots look great. Also, the footage of worship in the church feels very welcome. But we don't use the jib shots as much as we thought we might -- trying to put the interview as the soundtrack to these feels somehow wrong -- and Holly is concerned about whether we have enough static shots of the interior. Note to everyone not to neglect these in the buildings to come.Plus the assembly reveals that you really have to work carefully to establish on the screen the space, the layout, the basic configuration of a building. Not that we ever thought it was, but filming architecture is far from trivial. (John Wyver)
