Planning & Meetings: Week #6, February 6th - 10th

This was one of the final weeks of post-production, specifically editing. We were now starting to experience the stress of attempting to export and finish a project on time at AS Level and became slightly ruthless in the way that we were editing, removing large chunks of unnecessary audio and video that we no longer thought was desirable in our opening sequence in order to cut the runtime down dramatically.

We launched ourselves into cramming as much work as possible into a short amount of time, completing our credits and titles (using Apple's LiveType, logo shown to the right), as well as our sound and voiceover (using Apple's GarageBand and Audacity), leaving them to the last few sessions where we had the hardware and software available to us. In hindsight, this wasn't clever as we didn't plan our time management very efficiently, and we could have improved here slightly by doing so, although as this was our first time creating a film together as group and at A Level, this is an aspect that we will not forget and will take note of for next year.

Without the encouragement from peers and staff alike and the dedication of my fellow group members, I don't think we would have been able to submit our final opening sequence on time, which was not only a hugely frustrating experience, but an extremely rewarding process too!
