My Role as Art Director was pretty much over so I decided to just be around and help where needed during the editing and sound process whether that be just to help provide an opinion or to keep someone company.

Today we had our tutorial for our supposed final picture edit. Hannah B had finished the majority of the edit but there was still a few newly filmed scenes that needed to be added and some effects that needed to be put on some pictures before it could be handed over to Jacob so that he could work on it.

Today I just sat with Hannah B for a few hours to work on the final picture edit. As Jacob was getting a little antsy we gave him a rough copy to start working on the sound with as there was only a few small bits that we were going to change for the final edit. By the time we had finished working on it Jacob had left so we couldn't give it to him. But at least that was one hurdle we had crossed and all we had to think about was the sound.

I came in and sat with Jacob as he edited the sound. After he had finished I gave what he had done a listen then wrote a list of a few added suggestions and tweaks that could be made this included maybe adding another sound scape section to the piece as the one we had that was based on the Blue Peter theme song felt out of place to me. A few few sections had the character walking but no sound of footsteps and so on and some sounds I felt just didn't much match the picture we were seeing. Of course these were just my suggestions and bits and bobs I had noticed whilst watching through the piece and I left it up to Jacob to creatively decide as the Sound Editor if he wanted to take on board any of them.
A little while later, Hannah M came and had a listen to the sound and made a few of the suggestions that I had done in terms of sound/picture fitting, but Jacob had to leave he exported what he had done and left it for us to tweak the parts that we thought didn't match.

Hannah M Hannah B and I came in to work on fitting the sound to a slightly revised picture edit. One scene had been cut and we needed to add in the title card and end credits. But as we tried to do this in Soundtrack Pro the software just kept crashing and it didn't save any of the work that we had done. We asked Ron for help and he explained it was something to do with the Picture file. The toll of editing sound/picture everyday this week was slowly getting to the three of us and one by one we left. Deciding to tackle and hopefully export the final edit on Friday.
Friday - 14/12/12
After the shambles that was Thursday we turned up with a new perspective on the sound. Hannah M worked a little more on just making a few sounds fit and I offered my opinion when needed. Hannah B and Luke later turned up and gave their opinion on a new sound scape piece that Hannah M had just worked on. After they decided that they didn't like we decided to just leave it there. Hannah M exported and burned the final edit onto a disk ready for Mondays presentation.
