As the editor for the group, Melissa was in charge of piecing together the material.
She used the script and the shot list to piece together the footage.

Rough cut 3 / Fine cut:
Once Melissa had got the edit to the fine cut stage, I sat with her (as director of photography) to do the colour grading. We wanted to make the scenes within the consultation room and the operating theatre cool toned to enhance the clinical qualities of the setting and to reinforce the medical theme. We wanted to contrast this with warm tones in the waiting room area and in Sheila's home. We also had to ensure all the shots matched within the scenes as two different cameras were used so two different images were produced.
I used my research on colour theory to inform the decisions into the colour grading.
Unfortunately since we shot on DSLRs, there wasn't a lot of room to manipulate the footage without affecting the quality of the film.
Once the colour correction was complete and the audio was rectified, we had our final cut.
