Silent Disco Edit - Things to do

After viewing dans rough edit, and the rest of the footage I made note of things that need to be changed, and reshot for the final edit:
Shorten, tighten up, cut to 6 mins from 9, speed up pace of the film, Its dragging at the moment.
Jump cut sequence needs fixing in scene 2
Opening shots aren't really relevant, and quite boring(bed etc), plan to get more if theres time, if not, run titles over the top.
Phone exchange needs to be made smoother.
Edit after bitch comment jumps, reorder shots.
Remove random fades, mainly in the morning scene.
Possibly add floating subtitles for sign language (near their hands)

Colour Correction,
First scene, some shots are dark.
Party scene - holding hands is dark, most of the fridge scene needs to be made whiter.
Getting home, shots are pitch black, maybe just replace with another take, or remove completely.
Morning after shots, some are bright, some dull.

Plan sound

POV shots use 'dull ringing sound'
plan bridges, overlap sound from scenes to carry the cuts.
Use cheesy romantic music, with rewind at the end, over holding hands/being sick
Get some good tracks for the party, something upbeat and happy.

Shots to get in the reshoot:
More POVs from hannah, of people talking/signing
hannah POV fridge magnets
Whole fridge scene.
His reaction shot to 'im deaf'
live action of them moving the fridge magnets, to be sped up in edit.
Fixed shot, camera on top of the fridge looking down on them.
Shot at top of stairs, maybe not have them sit on bathroom step? room up top or step round the corner might look better.
When he leaves jojo have a shot looking down at her from stairs, and her look past the camera as he walks behind it.
Entrance to house, if weathers similar.
Sign language between jojo and hannah, if possible. Get more shots from in front rather than looking over their shoulders.
