We came in at 10 and had 6 hours before it had to be handed in. Chase and I worked on finishing off editing. Joe and Rossi got all the production files printed and on to disks and Jack was in charge of finishing off the Making of and we wanted to make a DVD menu page for it so Jack was in charge of getting this sorted. Me and Chase after about 2 to 3 hours had the final edit done it had gone quite smoothly.
We did have a few problems though, the first was that in the part of the interview that i have spoken about earlier where the sound levels just dropped randomly in the middle of something Nathan was saying (we found out after talking to the Danny the lecturer that this could have been from something small as we were using a boom mic they are very sensitive to the direction the sound is coming from so just him turning his head could have caused this), is still there and we tried to use the audio mixer to drop part of his voice and raise the quiter bit. It wasnt having any of it, i had it set to touch and i would move the volume bar depending on the sound level and when i stoped it, it would all be set to the last place i had it before i stoped it playing.
We then had problems with making the DVD menu and Jack knew how to do some of it but not all of it, so i went around and asked some of the other editor's from the other documentary groups, including Hits, Kez and Danny, all of them wernt sure. I then saw that Hits had figured out how to do it and i went and asked him how to do it, but he couldnt remeber but pointed out the third year AV student Richard that had showed him and so i went and got him to come and show Jack how to do it. This shows how networking works within the university and between other students. Althoug even after this the DVD menus kept messing up and Richard kept cuming and giving a hand but then something happened and he couldnt fix it and then the computer Jack was on crashed and somehow messed up the making of files too i dont know if it corrupted them or wat though.
Come 3.30 we had the documentary finished, all the production files on cd and all the recce, safety and release forms photocopied. I was happy that we got it all in on time but it was a bit disapointing/ annoying that we couldn't have a dvd with dvd menus and have a making of section on the dvd as I think this would have shown the extra effort put into it.
Here is the final edit thou....i hope you enjoy it
Im really happy with the final outcome of the documentary, especially as we had so many problems like having to restart the editing on the last week. I think our group worked quite well together and everyone played their rolls.
After doing this documentary i have decided my favorit part was definately the editing and beleive this is possibly the direction i want to head into in the future and due to this I plan to try and make a making of video out of the extra footage we do have thou in my spare time and possibly a short trailer for the movie.
