EDIT3: *insert PC Master Race joke here*

So, third day of the edit. Blimey, we only have about 4 days of editing left before the end of the project. Dunno how we’re gonna get all of this done in that time, but we’ll have a go anyways. It’s always worth trying at least.

Anyways, where was I? Ah yes, day 3. The day we actually started to fiddle with the actual footage, and sort out the rough order of the film. Well, sorta. If you count ‘sticking pieces of paper with the different sections of the film on them in a certain order on the wall of the editing room’ as ‘sorting out the order of the film’, then you’re in luck. Because that’s what we did. Why else would I bring that up if we didn’t do it? 

After this, we were sent off to work on different parts of the film on the Macs. Remember when I said on my last post that the PCs were slow and crashed a lot? Well I wasn’t expecting to say this, but the Macs were somehow worse. I dunno why, but they were stupidly slow (lag after you click on anything) and kept on giving me the spinning wheel of death every couple of seconds. 

So I scrapped that idea and went back to the PCs, which at least had signs of working-ness. And I got stuff done. Somehow. 

So yeah, I did editing things. And possibly proved that PCs are sometimes better than Macs. Oops?

Kai’s entry blog

In yesterdays session, i started the day by running errands for the team. This included; picking up hay fever tablets, delivering a letter to Bedford house, buying a card and cake for Jay and going to the foundling museum to pick up some items we’d left there. 

After that, the whole team cracked on with editing, we had set up a visual timeframe with all the aspects to our film, the next stage was to put them in some kind of order, so everybody worked on their own ideas to see what we could come up with. For me, i find editing to be a very long and detailed process, which you could put hours of work into for a minutes footage, despite this i actually enjoy it and find it very hard to draw away from once you're in your zone!
