As previously stated; the picture copy we gave Owen had gaps for the establishing shot and I asked him to stay away from the last scene as that was due to change. Just like Jess I arranged to see Owen on various dates to check his progress.
06/05: At this point there wasn't too much to see in terms of a sound design as Owen had been mostly working on syncing sounds/dialogue fixing and other not so obvious, but important things.
08/05: When I came back he had added a few tones that started to give me a feel for what the rest of the sound design would be like. Telling him that I liked what I was hearing so far I told him to continue along with where he was going and gave him a list of things and ideas that I would like to see completed by the next time we meet. This included: A sound motif for Jeffrey, a design for the "argument" section and a high pitched violin type tone for the killing scenes.
14/05: My initial meeting with Owen was supposed to be on the 12th, but he told me to bother coming as there was a technical issue and so he wouldn't have much more to show me. When I finally came in on Wednesday I was disappointed to find that Owen had deleted the progress he had made, claiming that he wasn't too sure about it. He didn't save this other copy anywhere and so we essentially had nothing. I told him to recreate some of it as I reminded him that the next screening we had was supposed to be a sound screening and he would have nothing to be analysed. I also gave him the final picture lock. But told him I was more concerned with him getting a decent sound design in place.
Overall I came to the conclusion that I would have to stay with him during the sound designing process as opposed to how I worked with Jess, which was checking on her progress and making suggestions at pre arranged days. That way I would assure he was getting work done and not deleting any progress due to any unsureness.
