Conversation Evaluation - Editing

During the editing process we had to face many problems that came our way. One of the main problems we encountered was actually transferring the film onto the computer and into the Adobe Premiere. This occurred due to not enough disk space on the area we were saving it. After a lot of playing around with the settings we finally found that the film wasn't being recorded to the desired area. After this had been completed, we went on to crop each scene. We also seemed to face a couple of problems here, as we kept overlapping the other scenes due to us not knowing when the actual scene had finished.

The largest difficulty we came across was the sound. The diagetic sound we record during the filming varied in volume so we had to alter it to make it all the same. Another problem was the soundtrack, as it was a lot louder than the diagetic sound. We took a lot of time in perfecting the soundtrack to synchronise with the dialogue.

Due to our cropping errors we did not have enough angles and the lengths of our cuts were not correct. We could not solve this, but used effects to cover up some of our mistakes and make them look less jarring.

Overall our editing went well as we managed to produce the effects we wanted (e.g. Black & White) and the angles we used were perfect. We suffered from few minor problems and could easily edit the film to make it look quality.
