Evaluation of Editing Progress

So far with our editing we have only done the performance bit, but hopefully we will start putting in the auditions shots on Friday or Monday. I think that the performance shots was the hardest bit to edit as we had to make sure that all the shots were on the beat and somehow linked up. To do this we had to constantly zoom in and marker everything up so that the artists lip-syncing matched up perfectly to the music. I think there are parts of our rough edit which are great, matched the beat perfectly and looked really good but there are other parts where I think the shot do not look as professional as we would like but in those parts we will replace with the audition shots. I think that at this point one of our weaknesses are that we don't have many shots of the party scene. We wanted to leave it more towards the end but I think that leaving it too late in the video meant that we didn't have many shots to chose from therefore we didn't end using the party scene much. 

The only real main issue we had while editing so far was when the media department was changing how we would access our music videos. They had to save everything to desktops but as a result of this somehow our project got mixed into a file with some other people. Because of this we couldn't edit that day. But this was easily solved by coming in when we had free time and trying to make up for what we should of done. 

I don't think that our project is changing but obviously it is going different to our storyboard. I think that because now we actually have the shots its easier to match up what looks good and what doesn't. The structure is around about the same, just the shots are in different orders to our storyboard. As well we cut a lot faster than how it is planned in the storyboard. 

I think that the only post-production work that we will need to do after we have finished editing is cut the music. Because the song is a lot longer than we are allowed to have it. But I think we have a perfect part of the music of which to cut which will work really well as the end.
