When we came back from Liverpool, our director and editor reviewed the footage and informed us about what we had and what was missing. We had the interview that we wanted and a couple of interesting stories about Michaels life as a violin maker. In terms of audio, we had the sounds that we wanted but some bits of audio were missing and some of the sounds had a buzzing sound in the background which was either the fridge or heater in Michaels studio.
We had a 1 hour tutorial with our lecturer and he offered us some guidance in terms of themes to take with our documentary. We made a rough cut which we presented to him to watch, which had different themes ranging from his personal life to a professional perspective. Our lecturer made us aware about the mood and style that we taking, which was a persona approach of Michaels life in the studio and all the wonderful stories he told us.
Our lecturer saw some of the other shots we had and in some of them, there were camera shakes or the image was either blurred. He informed us that such shots make the audiences aware that this is a camera and they become less engaged in watching the documentary. He also commented about the sound and how some slight adjustments needed to be made such as volume and background noise. He told us to think about a sound track for our documentary and Paul (Producer) was already on top of it, talking to a friend of his weather she will play a song for us with a violin.
We informed him that we were going back to Liverpool to film more about the personal life of Michael and to record the audio that we needed.
