FINE CUTTING

Below is the feedback I received from my director after discussing the edit for Home Away From Here.

• Longer pause when family exit after soap torture
• Edit "I don't know what you're talking about!" scene as his response is too confronting.
• Trim the shot in which Jack exits the basement (shot number 2)

I will now take these requests on-board and alter the edit. I agree with the points Jordan has made, as the scene in which Jack shouts "I don't know what you're talking about!" is too confronting and doesn't fit within the piece. He has suffered ruthless torture and the crew decided it was unnatural that someone would act in this confronting way. The soap torture scene/shot also needs extending because the family must exit, and the mother must head downstairs to begin reading her book. This continuity is required, as shortly after this shot Jack escapes from the house and the audience see the mother moving up from her chair after reading a book.
