Having watched my initial export through at home I decided that despite being happy with it I would like to make a few more small changes. In the initial interview sequence between Mike and Lewis, there is a section where I have both of their shadows on screen with dialogue alternating between different characters and roles. Although I liked this sequence, I felt that the visual imagery went on a bit too long. For my film Scopo Networking, I used lots of split screens and I felt that I could experiment with using this technique to make that part of the interview a bit more interesting. As the dialogue for this section was a question with a yes or no answer I thought I could synchronise Mike's yes or no answer with Lewis's face and vice versa. This was quite a difficult process as the pace of each interview is different - the one where Lewis is acting as the Support Worker and Mike as the homeless man is much slower in pace than the one where Mike is acting as the Support Worker. I had to overlap some of the sounds and get the timings just right so everything was synchronised.
Below are some screen grabs from this revised edit.
This is Lewis with Mike's shadow - here Lewis answers the question on screen but we hear Mike's voice.
This is Mike with Lewis's shadow - here Mike answers the question on screen but we hear Lewis's voice.
This is both Mike and Lewis with both shadows - here both characters answer in their own voices.
I watched back through the film and am now very happy with the result. I am now exporting the final copy.
