Well the shoot is now wrapped and its time to switch
my role on Colour Blind from Director of Photography to editor. I’m really
looking forward to editing the film; I already know that the shots we got are
nice and the way the story is arranged in the script will be interesting to
edit too as there are a few scenes that inter cut with each other.
One thing I was aware of approaching the editing stage
was that both Aisling and Gery came to the degree year from the Liberties media
course, which uses Adobe’s Premiere Pro editing software. Coláiste Dhúlaigh
uses Apple’s Final Cut Pro 7, which is the package I learned to edit on over
the last two years during my HND course. The college has installed the Adobe
suite this year to suit all students but I am not very familiar with it and would
be reluctant to use it for the first time on a major creative project with a
deadline without first having time to play around with it on practice material.
Fortunately the girls understood this and they are happy to go with Final Cut
for their film, especially since they are both keen to advance their
postproduction skills anyway. At the end of all this however I would like to be
a professional editor so I will endeavor to expand my own skills to include
Premiere Pro as well as the ubiquitous AVID as soon as I graduate.
