Editing Process

Rather then all five of us sitting in front of a screen an not all being able to contribute, we decided to take turns in editing. Myself and Clarice went in one afternoon and did around 2 hours worth of editing, which resulted in around 1 and half minutes worth of footage! we edited the two interviews that took place in the Cavern Club as these seemed the most complex and we wanted to start with the "hard" stuff.

The next day we met as a group and looked at what Jen Alex and Hannah had done and now it was just a case of putting it all together. The biggest problem we had when editing was to try and get the video in sync with the recording from our marantz, especially when it was one of the performers! So after playing around with it for a while we manged to get it as synced up as possible!

Another problem we had was mostly with the sound levels as perhaps sometimes the Boom pole was held to close to the person we were interviewing and so went a tad fuzzy and muffled. However, we soon got this sorted.

After 3 days work between the team we have finally finished editing our five minute documentary and I am very happy with our final result!
