Today I came back during my lunch time and free period to finish off the editing. When I opened Final Cut and saw that the work Becky and I did yesterday had been wiped. We still do not know how because it was saved several times throughout the day. I tried to get it back with the help from my teacher and we were unable to, so the only option was to start from what needed to be put back in. This meant that I needed to put in all of the clips that were left blank, for example parts of the verses we hadn't done yet and the effects we added throughout the whole video.
When editing yesterday I noticed that I would edit different parts of the track like different sections at different times. I realize that today I just made it more complicated for myself.
When I found out that I had to do the editing what I did yesterday again I felt to give up as I feel that because of lack of communication between me and Becky in the last few days and the problem with this subject clashing with other subjects deadlines that I have put in more effort. After discussing this with Becky we both changed our actions. Because of those problems I felt let down by Becky because I felt as if I was working on my own. I turned to Kirstie and Daniel a lot for help, mainly opinions on what I have done so far and I think that having them as a second opinion helped me a lot through the process of editing.
I got in touch with Becky as soon as possible when I found out that our editing from yesterday had been wiped. I was really pleased with her because even though she was in a lesson at the time she came and spoke to me about it to arrange what we are going to do about the situation. This made me feel more positive about the work and we agreed that I will use that hour she is in a lesson to get started on it being how we left it yesterday and that she was going to come back to media after school to go through it with me. This proved that we were just having problems with communication and that I will make sure that the communication between me and my group partner will be stronger in future.
From working from the beginning of the track going through making sure that the right effects were on each clip and that every clip was in sync with the track was a much easier way of editing it, and the fact that the editing was fresh in our memory from the day before it made it much easier than I expected it to be. Working in this way made the editing of today happen more faster and smoothly than it has before.
