Back in the edit suite again, we took a different approach; shorter takes, repeated clips, and overlaying shots on-screen. We were much more confident with the software this time and could do more complicated things with the footage. Since we felt it was a very strong image, we used the close-ups of the eyes behind the mask over and over during the course of the film. Rather than having a narrative, the film now contains a lot of visual metaphors and juxtaposition.
I suppose I'm pretty satisfied with how the film has ended up. I've not particularly enjoyed the assignment and that has definitely impacted on my satisfaction with the end result. I feel if I had maybe worked harder, and prepared more (even if it had been on my own) we would have ended up with a better film. On the plus side, these things are useful to know for my next project, and hopefully will motivate me to not leave things until the very last minute..
