Today I watched the first cut of 'The Hook Man'. Unfortunately my fears from the shoot carried over into the edit, we really did have poor lighting on the day. We just didn't have the capabilities of creating the amount of light we needed.
Although saying this, there are positives in the footage, I was pleased with how the piece was coming and I think as first cuts go this one may be better than the initial cut of 'The Babysitter' but I think it won't surpass 'The Babysitter' final cut. I also feel the pacing of a certain sequence needs to be tightened up. I initially imagined the part where Jamie is starting the car to be a suspenseful moment, I imagined achieving this by a series of fast cuts between the footage.
Overall, I'm glad we are on schedule and have the time to fine tune this edit like we did with 'The Babysitter'.
