Editing Bo's Diary

Bringing the coming-of-age fantasy to life

from script to screen

I joined the team of Bo's Diary after the happy accident of being randomly assigned to provide script feedback during its development stage. Meeting with director/writer Isabel James, who was a total stranger to me at the time, we found we found that we had a love for similar films like Submarine (2010) and Marie Antoinette (2006), and that we both wanted to make a film inspired by those visuals.

During the production of Bo's Diary I worked as script supervisor and, because I was originally attached as sound designer at the time, also worked closely with the sound recording team to ensure we were capturing the best sound.

 

At the end of each day of the 3-day shoot I would data-wrangle and then back-up our precious footage and audio.

montage heaven

There are a number of themes built into the story of Bo's Diary; significantly female objectification, social isolation, romance, and fantasy escapism. In just under 9 minutes, the final edit of the short film captures those themes in its quirky awkward dialogues scenes and dream-like musical montages.

Incorporating the diary pages designed by our wonderful production designers was a post-production decision I feel brought it all together.

Bo's Diary was shot in 5K .R3D format and edited primarily in Adobe Premiere Pro 2024.
