Wednesday 24th - Editing

Today we have had a lot to get done and we haven't managed to get everything done to hit the deadline on time. We have needed to tweak a lot of the original rough cut and also to add a lot of footage that we were not able to before hand.

Dave has spent the lesson editing the original rough cut, going through all of the feedback that was given to us from Simon and the Bournemouth students. The whole documentary needs to be cut a lot quicker to add smoothness and flow to the whole video. It also need a sound track under all of footage so that it becomes more interesting to view and we are also going to be adding a montage at the beginning and end to add to the feel of the video. Dave has completed all of this on the old footage and new footage we have given him today, however, we will still need to edit it again once we attach the newer footage.

Myself and Mike has worked on the Bournemouth and Samba footage, edited it on another computer and then given it to Dave to fit in with the rest. This went quite well but I think we were cutting a bit close to the deadline, and I could have edited it bit quicker by being less detailed with what he looked like and just stuck to the basics of what we needed. This may have been why we were running over time but we knew that we need have some of footage to add at this point, so we would miss the deadline.

This has gone quite well considering the time that we had to edit in and the footage that we had to work with. The rough cut now has the basics that we think Simon wanted for the documentary and think once we have the interview that we need to add, we shall just have to give it the "wow factor" that he likes.
