Editing suite

After our first day in the editing suite, capturing and logging we decided to focus on finalising a firm structure for our show. This would mean deleting clips and sections we didn't need or want. Originally in our structure we had a chat show, celebrity guest and film debate but due to time limitation we had to cut these out of our filming schedule.When putting the stucture together we realised it didn't really work as well as we thought leading in us moving sections around on the timeline on Final cut. This was a hassle and a pain moving things around as alot of things went out of sync. Originally we had an introduction to the Mr Fit section but unexpectedly lost it resulting in us inserting a introduction page to it.
For our entertainment and cooking section.We cut the clips to the length that was suitable which was around minute for the cooking and 10 seconds for the music clips. The weather was a problem for us and we were constantly debating removing it or keeping it, due to the fact it was too long. However it was the shortest clip we could find without any logo's from TV channels and in the end kept it at around 40/50 seconds after editing it which was hard from the speed of the ladies voice. I am pleased we kept it as i feel it really helped shape the Morning Show.

As my main role was editing the programme i felt a lot of pressure as i was un experienced with using final cut pro, as were all of us. By reading books, taking notes from teachers and Youtube tutorials we were able to work out how to use all of the tools on the programme. As the programme developed i felt that i have developed with it improving my knowledge on how to use the programme. The editing proccess was a tidious one which was very time consuming, furstrating and rewarding at the same time. It was a shame that some members of the group didn't apprecitate the time and effort me and Raggy were putting into the editing.

The hardest part of the editing process i found was cutting around the actors and transferring them into the virtual studios. What we didn't think about in advanced was when filming we got myself and Bradley to stand on a sticky note to show were centre was. Although this was helpful at the time it proved to be a nightmare to get rid of on screen when editing and will keep this in mind for future.
For me the fashion section was the hardest section to edit. Oringinally we had decided that we were just going to have the model walk out and there be a voice over by the presenter explaining the outfit. However we decided against this and added in the presenter.
