Editing Thriller
Blog Post #'45
A Skype call has been organised in the upcoming week with Michael Harrowes, Michael is a BAFTA nominated editor who is currently editing a horror drama for British television. He has previously worked on other TV series such as "Agatha Christie: Poirot" and "Mr Selfridge''.
The questions that I hope to ask him will be:
1). How did you get into the media industry?
2). What has been the biggest project that you have worked on?
3). What tips would you suggest when editing our final opening title sequence?
My fault - can you change it to him editing a thriller. Also can your links always be in a different colour or underlined so they stand out and it is clear you have done this extra work?
ReplyDeleteOVERALL FEEDBACK
ReplyDeleteFateh - I am expecting great things from you. Your film is absolutely fantastic and getting stronger by the day (brilliant stuff) BUT - your blog is behind. See all the posts below - at your level I am expecting each and every one of these done. I am also concerned that I haven't seen any Evaluation work and this is also a very large part of your coursework. It is crucial that you put these on your post asap so I can provide a likely grade and any suggestions for improvement. MORE WORK PLEASE - homeworks need to be done.
