Yesterday I spent the day in a darkened room - more specifically the Livewire Studio at Cornerhouse. It was editing training time with Marisa, and Jack, Connor and Claire got the chance to play with some state-of-the-art Final Cut Express editing software for the day.
In preparation for the editing of their own film project, they were practising on footage from one of last year's MYVP projects, a film called Vacant 21, to test out some editing techniques and produce a recut of the short at the end of the session - I even got a chance to edit my own version while I was there.
The atmosphere was industrious, and at the end of the day, the final recuts were all different in style and pace, showing how, with a little alteration in the editing process, it was possible to convey different moods and themes using the same footage. They'll now be able to apply these skills to the cut of MYVP's current project, and see the transformation of their own weeks of hard work into a composite final piece.
