One of the biggest problems we faced during the editing process was transferring the tape data onto the Mac. Due to the camera we used being tape based, this caused a problem from the start and the transfer time took longer than we anticipated.
Once we transferred the footage however, we were then able to begin the edit. The initial structure of this piece as stated before, was to show some of the establishing shots whilst the interview audio played over the top, then revealing the interviewee. This i felt would achieve the piece to flow smoothly while also making it clearer to the viewer the progression of the interviews.
Another problem arose during the edit stage as due to the poor quality of the camera viewfinder, our focus was not quite as perfect as we had hoped which led to a few of our clips being deemed unusable. This was pointed out to us during our presentations and so we came up with the idea of incorporating some stop motion as a means of displaying a different visual format aside from film. This would be done to also add visual references as to what the interviewees were describing, in this case putting money in a savings account and letting it generate interest.
For the whole of this project, no definitive roles were given and we worked entirely as a group during each stage, though there may have been certain issues with the amount of construction each individual gave. The edit process was completed by Jordan, Nick and myself along with the sound whilst the music was done completely by Nick.
