The picture cut was finalised on Wednesday, and even though we had bled into the sound design time I had no fear that we would still get everything done in time. Editor and I sat together and went through every clip that was in the sequence and I carefully debated each one in terms of meaning and character/story development and through this rigorous process we finally had a final cut in place. This process worked really well as it meant that there was a reason behind every cut and once we had finished there was no question about it being done.
We immediately handed the finished copy to the sound designer to get started on ASAP, I left him too it and came to check on his progress on Friday whereby I listened to what he had done and made sure everything synced up. As previously mentioned there was nothing really extravagant to add to the soundtrack of this piece as it would take away from the basic simplicity of the piece, but the sound designer still managed to come up with a few soundscapes that worked well for building the tension of the film throughout. I commented on placements for new sounds and how I wanted the sound adjusted and then left him to it again. We communicated again over the weekend with my checking his progress and making suggestive adjustment here and there before eventually signing off on the sound design and the project itself. It was necessary to get everything agreed on by Sunday because even though our deadline wasn't until Friday we needed it to be finished in preparation for the AV13 event on Wednesday.
