Marketa's evaluation

Marketa's Evaluation

For this specific I was chosen to be the visual editor. I am relatively new to the role, so I wanted to improve. The job went mostly smoothly, we had enough footage to choose from. The hardest part of it was to make it look smooth, especially for the actors movement from and to work. There were parts that we could have done better, but we did our best to make it seem natural.


For me, the worst part was not the editing itself, but the problems we had with technology. All of us knew the possibility of problems ocuring when working first on Mac and then on PC. What we didn't expect though were the problems with different versions of Macs and Premiere Pro. One day we make basic rough edit on Mac and the other we spent well over 3 hours trying to get it to work again. We did, but sadly were not able to properly transport it elsewhere or finish our work there (this one particular Mac had no sound). In the end, we had to start fresh and make the edit all over again. Thankfully we managed to finish our project at the same date (with a bit of tinkering afterwards).

That made me realize one thing. No matter how many times you save, render and export, make sure you do it on the same Mac/PC, or at least in the same room. Because it may not like different versions.

Otherwise I enjoyed working on this project and am curious what will come next.

Schedule

Schedule

Here is a schedule I made as the director to roughly follow to guide us smoothly through the completion of our project.

I have decided that the aim for the first week will be to secure a poem, idea and sort all the pre-production out ready to film in the next week.

The second week we will be filming and editing as we go in a minimum of two locations. Aspects of this schedule could change.

The final week will to review all our work, make sure the edit is complete to a high standard and quality that we all intend to achieve, and the post-productions and evaluations are completed on the blog ready to present our final pieces on the last Friday.
