22nd March Reflection

Our editing of the interviews were completed, only a few minor details needed to be adjusted.
Now we had to add in and edit out clips we captured previously. They were related to the context of the interview, and specifically to what the interviewees are saying.
We made a list the previous lesson of what footage we needed to capture. Even though we didn't capture all of them, we managed to complete the most important ones. I was sure and clear of what we had filmed, so the footage should be easy to edit.

However, we couldn't borrow a school film camera to record the clips. Instead, we used my own digital camera to film them. This presented a problem in converting and editing. The files that recorded the film were not meant to be edited, but more of a playback footage. I realized that a lot of the settings were different, and I didn't realize that there even were such things. I thought the matter was simple previously and everything would work normally, but it didn't.

The problem was hard to solve, as the file type wasn't suitable for editing. Through multiple tries of different methods, we still failed. Therefore, we asked the teacher for help.
While this was all going on, I realized that we didn't need all 4 group members to help solve this problem, so I asked 2 of the group members to find more footage online, edit the footage, and also find some background music. These were important things that could be done, and we could be much more efficient by splitting up the work.

The problem persisted, and we had to solve it the next lesson.
