One of the Issues I had with picture lock was that the original editor of the film dropped out of the project. This was an issue because of the information that was transferred between us was lost. The film was edited by the director and camera man, and weren’t 100% sure on how to sync up the location sound audio. Originally the plans with the editor was to send her the audio files and sync them up as soon as she got them. This was still the case, however it took the new editors longer to do because they were unsure of the process. I looked over one of the sessions in which they were syncing up the audio, just incase they had any problems with it.
The way in which they were required to sync the audio was by dragging out each individual picture cut and matching the clap board with the clap in the audio, followed by dragging it back in. An easier alternative to this would have been to use timecode in the location recording process, however the cameras didn’t have the capability to do this. Another way was to use a piece of software that does it for you, however did not have access to it.
I then received picture lock, an edit of the film that wouldn’t be changed, however pre colour-correction; in the beginning of December and was given the deadline of the 12th December to finish all of the post production.
Here is what the film looks and sounds like before I start post production:
