I have re-evaluated my ideas. I wanted to have Rosie/Aimie talking while we watch them pitch their projects in a sped-up presentation. I realised that I didn't have enough footage of Rosie talking and too much of her presentation, which gave me the idea of separating her interview from her presentation. I used "working" footage as an overlay while she is talking and then used the presentation in a different way. I put quite a few cuts in, during her interview to pick up the pace of the documentary a little and get a feeling of urgency across. I then combined the presentation (still sped up) with a soundtrack representing the time coming to a close, stopping it every so often to pick out bits from the presentation that get her project across in a nutshell. Those little parts are snippets of her presentation in normal speed. I didn't use the entire presentation either, because it was still considerable in length even in a time-lapse. I used parts where there was a lot of moving about, adding to the comical effect created by the music.
For Aimie's part of the second stage I wanted to do something similar with music (a different song) but then thought it would seem repetitive lose its charm. Instead I am going to let Aimie talk and according to what she's saying I will cut parts of her presentation in. I have had some first reactions for this edit and they seemed to have been entertained, which is the aim of it. I would like to incorporate some music somewhere else in the documentary apart from just during Rosie's presentation (and the credits) but I am not sure as to where yet. Maybe at the end of Aimie's second interview in a similar way I finished Rosie's second stage. While the music plays out and fades out I put a shot of a pan across Whitespace in time-lapse. I might do that for the end of Aimie's second stage interview.
