Today afterschool Wilhelmina, Indya and I headed to the media room to continue editing. We spent about an hour and 40 minutes editing and made so much progress!
At first we encountered a problem as when we opened our Final Cut Pro file the timeline and the viewer weren't appearing. We spent a couple minutes trying different things to allow them to appear but didn't have any success as where you would normally open them up the text was 'greyed out'. Wilhelmina took her initiative and looked in our Malediction folder and found a back-up file that automatically saved during our last session. We were all so relieved! As it had automatically saved during our last session it meant we had lost a little bit of our work we did near the end of the lesson but that didn't matter too much as we could quickly re-do it.
During this session we edited right up until Suzanne (Indya) is about to start walking towards the final door where she finds the antagonist. We also noticed how much the incidental music creates atmosphere and without it the video seems a little silly and unbelievable. Because of this we have kept our incidental music in a little longer than planned and we only have a second or so without music before the next piece of music begins. We have also muted the videos so you can not hear any background noise as the background noise is usually quite a harsh loud sound that makes the video seem less professional.
This editing session was really important as on Wednesday we have a Digging Deeper Day so will be missing our double lesson and on Thursday Wilhelmina goes to Barcelona on an art trip for a few days so Indya and I won't be able to consult her when editing. In addition to this Indya is away on a day trip on Thursday so I will have to edit on my own! This shouldn't be a problem as I can follow the storyboard and just do what I think is best. In addition to this it is only a rough cut so improvements can easily be made in the future.
