Construction Post 6: Reflections on Edit Week 2

We added our LiveType titles in the
second editing week, choosing a font
which connoted technology & social media

Having split into smaller, more focused groups and completed a lot of the fundamental work dragging and cutting most of our shots, we allowed ourselves to work productively but without the same pressure as the first week. I felt this was important, as this allowed us enough time to focus on putting the finishing touches to our sequence rather than catching up on important work.

Josh and myself had a list of tasks which we had left ourselves which was kept in our group folder. Although we were already aware of what we needed to do, and the paper often went missing amongst other documents, we felt it was handy to remind ourselves of exactly which areas of the sequence we needed to work on.

During the second week of editing we:

-Updated the sequence with new & re-taken shots

-Adjusted the new shots to fit accordingly to the music

-Added our new titles created on LiveType

-Graded our shots using ProcAmp & the 3-way colour corrector

We used tools such as ProcAmp
and the 3-way colour corrector
when grading

-Made improvements to aspects such as grading based on target audience feedback

Looking back, I feel that the second editing week went very successfully. Despite the group having separated, and Josh & myself perhaps spending a little too much time on cutting to within a frame's accuracy, it eventually ran very smoothly due to our hard work and good organisation in both weeks.
