When the rough cut was approved, I started working on the Fine Cut. This meant trimming down shots to a precise frame, so the piece flowed together (our film worked in a sort of jerked timeline). This was because it was fragments of events that were brought together in the ending, which in my opinion was a good idea.
Our original idea was to have a doppleganger, one Chris in white and the original Chris in other colours. He was going to reflect on his life and stop the original Chris from jumping, like a limbo effect. However the shots of the doppleganger didn't work. It was filmed on a rooftop, and unfortunately there were shot problems, where the camera slightly moved, but the lighting was too different and it would have taken me to long to edit the shots in other program for them to usable. So we had to cut it and create another way to represent the two different versions of the character. Which was hard to do in my opinion, however we included the character in a very abstract way to make the audience wonder what was happening with him, hoping it would all come together in the end - which it almost does (unfortunately we ran into narrative problems).
The fine cutting went well, I worked on a number of things, including colour correction to create an atmosphere and mood - when these were completed, the fine cut was given to Alex to add the sound design.
