Today I went to Josh’s place to finish up the project. We shared our edits of the video and took the best ideas and made them into one, while I edited, Josh was working on the written parts of the work. We spent a while trying to figure out how we would incorporate the spoken word aspects and tried recording them, but we felt it wasn’t right and took something away from what we had already made.
Eventually we settled on having subtitles that had the poetry. Once we made this change we felt we had to cut back the amount of words used as to not overload the audience with reading and kept things simple. While Josh finalised the poetry, I started on the drawings that would go in the booklet. We then came together to work on the layout and crafting the booklet itself which was a great new skill for me as I can take that forwards for some CDs that I plan to make over the summer.
