Documentary- Workshop assistance and first day edit comments

After our short workshop today I felt a need to comment on the assistance this has provided within the sound role of the documentary. We were told by Darryl how to 'sweeten' clips within post production, removing things such as the high frequency of the background noise and the compression of sound when trying to fix music recordings. This was very useful as Darryl specifically looked at our clips and gave us useful feedback on how we could improve problems that we couldn't help when recording. We quickly used this feedback and edited the sound improving the quality and giving a seamless feel to it.

Within the edit perspective we are starting to create a piece that we can agree on! We have created two different sequences creating two different ideas that divided the group at the beginning. We are now beginning to merge our ideas into one and create a finalised structure. James (editor) has sucessfully synced the sound to the video clips and therefore tomorrow we should be creating our finalised edit. Unfortunately we have come across some unavoidable problems in post mostly due to the PD170's self changing settings. But altogether we have a strong collection of footage that we hope will give us a good final piece!
