Post Production

Monday
Today me and Rhys met up and just sorted through the clips we had, naming them all and deleting the ones that we didn't need in preparation for us meeting up the following day to start putting together a rough edit for the tutorial on Thursday.
Tuesday
We started putting the clips together in sequence and decided to focus on a section then add effects and make sure it was perfect before moving on to the next section. Because of this editing style each of us would take it in terns doing a section as we found, editing sound isn't something that you could both do at the same time. When we had finished our section we would get the other to listen to it and make adjustments based on comments before swapping over and repeating the process.
Wednesday
We came in to edit, we so far had been lucky enough to have the mac we were using be free so therefore overlooked having to book it out. The people on it today had booked it for the entire day so there was nothing we could do but go away and book it for the next available slot during the week and use what we had for the Tutorial tomorrow
Thursday
Today we had our tutorial and in this session Esther picked upon a few key points we had to consider for the final presentation. Points included shorting the piece as we were 40 seconds over the allocated. Sorting out a few clips where the sound peaked and making sure there were no click and bumps in the track. We took all of this to mind as we came in to finish editing on Friday
Friday
Today we went in with the hopes of finishing the sound editing, we looked over all the points that had been mentioned in the tutorial the previous day. Initially we were taking turns doing the editing but as it went on Rhys did the majority with me listening to any problems or sounds that he didn't think sounded right. I think that this was a natural occurrence because after a while you have a back and forth about how you think it should sound so it was better to have it tuned into one persons perspective. I still had an important job being the one with fresh ears so I could critically analyse sections and be brutal when it came to cutting down unnecessary parts. We managed to make the final edit today but decided not to burn it yet. Instead we would come back after the weekend and take another listen to spot any other loose sounds before the assessment deadline.
