We had our meeting with Lee about how our work is so far. He was quite impressed with what we'd done, but thought the narrative could have done with some work. Also by this point he hadn't synced our sound up to the image in FCP so the interviews didn't sound too crisp. The soundtrack also hadn't been put in at this point so we showed it to him separately he equally liked it at the point it was at.
After telling him about our Catherine situation, about not wanting to include her so as to not clutter the film and how what she says isn't too relevant, but feeling like we should to advertise her company. He said to make the film the best it could be, and not to pander to Catherine just because of her help to get it shown, instead make the film we want to make, but be respectful at the same time.
Another thing he told us to do is to look out for the subtle things in the interview that make it seem more informal, for example when they finish a sentence and relax for a bit, and could look into the camera by accident. These informal elements are something I think we should definitely try to put in our doc to try and give it less of a promotional and rigid standard documentary feel.
