Today we continued on from yesterday's lesson in terms of editing and looking for visuals. I was also introduced to filming scripts for the first time.
In order to find the right visuals for the film project, my group members and I watched all four of the interviews and took notes on anything that could be a possible visual in the film. We ended up taking too many notes down, so then began to narrow them down. We found the decision making particularly difficult as to what we should include and what we shouldn't, and still manage to have good periods of time where you see the speaker and not just visuals. As a group, we managed to cross off as many unnecessary visuals as possible.
Then we started to write up the scripts. This section is when we realized this was actually going to take a while to complete. We had not realized when simply coming up with ideas, how much thought would have to be put into the different scenes we may act out. We managed to complete a few shots' scripts and planned on going out and filming them.
As a group, we are still finding the editing very difficult and extremely confusing because none of us are very familiar with Final Cut Pro, but we have continued to persevere and are slowly making progress in our editing skills. We will keep practicing using the software, and will hopefully improve soon.
At the moment, it seems as if our group is working well together, with technology related issues giving us trouble. We may need to speed up our working speed slightly, for us to have a good complete product by the deadline.
