- Today we started our first day of editing. We are somewhat behind, but using out free study periods, we will go to media and edit some more. Our deadline is this Friday (13th), but we are not at school so it will be Thursday (12th). As we have never used Premier Pro, getting used to it took a little more time, but I think it is a lot better than Corel and somewhat simpler to use.
- The first part of the editing was very tedious and time consuming, especially as we were just getting used to it. We had to cut very small clips of each group member on the swing, almost like stop motion because the clips were so short, we wanted to follow something from Goodwin's theory, which was cuts on the beat. We were going to do every beat, but decided that for a rough cut this may be too challenging at the moment, so we cut at every other beat, which still worked because one beat includes a heavier drum beat and a symbol. Cutting clips so small was quite fiddly and took a while to get used to, but in the end we managed to do it. At these scenes, we wanted the camera to be in the same place and make it look like each band member was swapping swings, but on the scene of me, someone moved the camera and zoomed it in, so it doesn't look very good. It doesn't stand out too much, but I think for the rough cut we will leave it and then ask our media teacher for feedback, we will then re-film these scenes.
- The rest of the editing went well, the miming was near enough spot on, which we were all extremely relieved about and we also adapted to the new editing programme very quickly.
