Media Progress - Editing & Digipak

After working on on the editing of the music video for a few weeks, I can report that it is coming along nicely. We have fully edited just ocver half of the finished product however we only have 5 - 6 hours of editing time left realistically so we are going to have to pick up the pcace somewhat. Early on in the editing phase we desided that we would get more more work done if we split our group into two. Me and Chris would be working on the editing on the the mac, while Lizi would start work on the digipak. We came to the conclusion that this setup would be more beneficial to maximizing effeciency because it appeared that 3 people working on the editing complicated matters whith everyone wanting differant things to put into the video.

In terms of editing, at this point, we have edited up to the point when Kieran enters the pub. Looking back on what we have done we have ended up putting much more performance in to compliment the narrative than we previously concieved. This is a postive change because our original plan possibly did not include enough shots of the band. It does mean, however, that we may in fact run out of time to include everything that we wanted in the finished product. We will just have to wait and see.

The Digipak, being created solely by Lizi at this point, is coming on very well from what I have seen from our quick group meetings at the start of every lesson. It would seem that Lizi, having quite a talent for photography, has been able to create some very interesting takes on the original card digipak we thought up. So far she has photographed and edited quite a few differant shots whith differant filter and colour effects. So, in conclusion, from what we have produced so far, I am very pleased however our editing will have to pick up the pace slightly if we are to finish by the end of next week. The Digipak is coming on brilliantly and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product.
