Our first shoot day was on Tuesday 11th where we would be filming as much as we could in the afternoon without any of the actors being present, then later in the day around 8ish with both actors where we would be filming all the shots needed with the daughter involved.
As soon as we finished the afternoon shoot, I started using Mpeg streamclip to apply the Apple Pro Res (HQ) codec to the footage to make it run smoother and maintain its quality when using it in the edit. After this, I began to import the footage into the editing software I will be using for this project, AVID Media Composer. I then began the process of sorting through the footage, labelling it with regards to the composition and content, getting rid of any out-takes or non-usable footage and using the shot list to organise it in terms of narrative.

After going through all of the first shoots' footage, I started colour labelling the shots that, in my opinion, were the best takes that we obtained, and I started collaborating with the cinematographer and the director for their opinions on my decisions.

Next, I started to put these shots into the timeline to begin to visualise the narrative and, once again, I discussed each shot's position in the sequence with the director, to ensure he was happy as we went along. I followed the shot list as best I could for this sequence, but due to locations and timing, some of the shots were slightly different and so a bit of improvisation from myself and the director allowed us to construct the sequence.

After helping out with the set up of the second shoot in the evening, I did the same thing as before with the new footage and created a rough assembly for the new shots.
