Editing For The Final Video

After editing the footage we had taken the first time around, we realised that we needed to film the last couple of scenes again as we weren't happy with the quality of them, because we were rushing to film everything before we lost the daylight and to get rid of a stranger who had come over to us. Thankfully Sarah managed to film the shots that we needed yesterday afternoon, meaning that we could edit the last bits today. The shots were aligned really well with our previous footage, something we weren't sure if we could achieve easily and the weather was also very similar to our previous filming, meaning that the film didn't look too different from the rest of the video. Once we had finished editing we showed our finished product to Mrs Hammond, who helped us to improve our video by pointing out bits where the shots jumped quite noticeably, but however, this left us with 4 seconds missing once we had finished again. To counteract this, we had to slow down some of the footage where we thought Joe was maybe walking too fast compared to the rest of the video and that way we managed to gain back enough time for the video to be synchronized with the audio. We also edited the still image of Joe a bit, to help the focus remain more on Joe's face rather than other aspects around him.

Overall, our editing went smoothly and both of us are very happy with our finished product as we feel it is much better than our draft version, through our filming and editing alike.
