Edit 5

With the time coming very close I felt that there was no other alternative but to work by myself. Sam and Becca were in the room (doing other coursework) so when I wasn't sure if I had made the right decisions i would call them other. Sam often helped me making sure that i had the lip sync on time something i struggled with very much.
I have now managed to finish the editing of the video and it is complete. I have shown the full copy to Sam and Becca however John wasn't around and said what he saw was fine and therefore we believed that it would be fine to leave as are completed version. I much preferred when Sam was in control of the editing and I was there to suggest ideas and tell him roughly how long shots should be there for rather than actually using final cut express myself as it something i have not used many times. However i still am happy with the final result especially as some times i thought we were never going to get there.

Edit 4

I came up to media to see John and Sam working on are project they had separated some of the video up with different shots of are artist doing different things and singing to the camera. This has increased the quality of are music video my only worry is that no one else is willing to stay after school and means that we are running out of time as i do not feel confident enough to edit by myself and also think it would be unfair on the group if I was to make mass changes by myself without asking them. Saying this however afterwards Sam and Becca and I did carry on with the video and make some more seconds up.

EDITING BAD NEWS

We left are computer on whilst we went to break and came back to find that the bit that Sam worked on so hard has been moved by somebody! He has had to redo it wasting precious time. He has once again done a very good job, however not as good as he had done before!

Although very annoying it has taught us a very important lesson that we must remember to save are work as younger children can always go into the media lessons and ruin your work.

Editing two.

I felt that we were falling a bit behind and wanted to edit more. However at first Sam wasn't happy with this as he wanted to edit in order as we didn't know exactly where that bit should start. Normally I would of agreed with him but as we are on a short time scale I persuaded him to start now. We put the argument on with Sam doing the majority of work and then asking for my opinion as to what we should or checking that he was doing it right. I am happy with the final product and so is the rest of the group!

Editing one.

We have started editing now. At first the plan was to get all the filming done before editing started as we thought we would then now fully what we were doing. But due to my group not being able to film in the near future due to various excuses. Sam, Becca and I started editing as John was not in and due to him often taking days off school as he performs music professionally we thought we should just start without him. I had forgotten how good Sam was at editing and so naturally he took control of the keys. Sam and I have become the main two now on the editing forming a good editing relationship. I normally find the shots i think we should use and for how long and then he puts them into the actual time line, so they go on the beat. Although Becca started with us and helped at first she then went and carried on blogging as she felt that is where her time would be spent most. Sam and I have put together the starting 40 seconds; (mainly of the cafe and are two actors walking together) of are music video now and although we have only just started it is good to finally having something on the final cut express time line.
