I'm currently working on a short experimental film called 'Cha' which follows the process of a Chinese tea ceremony. I've done the filming and have been editing for a while but it's getting very difficult, I don't think I'm much of an experimental editor.
The filming went a lot differently than I'd planned and so it's turning out quite differently to how I'd imagined in my head, but I'm improvising with what I've got and it might be okay.
I'm trying to use editing to create the effect that a lot of Chinese tea has on the drinker, especially during the ceremony, so therefore a lot of repetition, and experimenting with speeds and direction of play. the sound will be very important too, but I feel we may have to re-record some of the sound as a lot of seaguls, children and cars can be heard from the street outside
Cha was filmed in 'The Essence of Tea' http://www.essenceoftea.co.uk/ owned by a lovely couple in Falmouth - a tea shop I can't stop going to for their teas and vegetarian sushi.
