Fiction Adaptation: Rough Cut Edit + Feedback

Yesterday, I had a rough cut edit viewing with Helen and Sam to give me some feedback on the edit so far. I had filmed on Monday which meant that I hadn't had much time to edit before the viewing but wanted to show them something so I could start working towards it before Thursday with the feedback they gave me. I had managed to edit a few of the scenes roughly, without the voice over which made it a little more difficult to interpret. One thing I noticed straight away when editing was that I felt like there wasn't quite enough footage as I felt like the cuts were too drastic and could do with more coverage.
Helen agreed and said that she felt like the narrative was a bit confusing with the location changes. I had tried to follow the flow of the poem and make the words fit the images which I thought made the location changes justifiable. However, they said that rather than giving the story more meaning, it confused it too much. To work from this, I plan to base the narrative of the story around the bench scene so that that represents present time where the two characters have come to talk and reflect and the flashbacks will be the scenes with Imogen and Troy as she is remembering how he made her feel. I think that the flashbacks will work before the lines of dialogue when they're sitting at the bench as this will show a reaction to them, giving the scene some background. In terms of filming, I plan to re film on Monday next week, just at the riverside to enable me to expand on this scene so it can be the basis of the story. I would also like to capture some more GVs of the area as these will work as cutaways for the scene.
