Skills Audit: Screen Grabs Of Editing

Personally, in our 'Final Edit' tutorial, i found this program straight-forward to use, however, learning in depth about the program and having to produce a lengthy clip does require a lot of concentration and over-time to work with. Overtime, I learnt how to use shortcuts and how to edit much faster than a beginner which helped with the speed of how my group worked at. I also learnt to understand what the program is able to do, and what it is unable to do.
To be able to upload our work in different programs and areas, i.e. on blogger or on powerpoint, it required different formats, different technicians also helped us to learn this, which in effect, allowed us to work independantly rather than relying on the technicians.
Initially, I did not think editing would take as long as it did take. Roughly, it covered about 3 sessions and even attending workshops; it required full attention and cooperation of the whole group.
Ideas of how to edit our clip came from all members of our group; however, this did bring conflict in ideas as different individuals had different likes and dislikes to others. Also, many ideas we found appropriate for our title sequence, were considered as unappropriate by teachers; being media teachers, we took their advicce.

Unfortunately, many problems occured whilst using this program including files going missing, not saving or getting placed in a different order on the storyboard (used on the program). Using this program to produce our final title sequence was very demanding as even the small mistake can effect the entire clip.
Towards the end of editing, as we werte very tired of having to come back and back to the same program, we would repeatedly press 'Crtl+S' to ensure our work would get saved. Also, we run through our clips over and over again and discuss brand new ideas to improve the final title sequence.
Editing brings together the whole group and really demonstrates the participation as this task is not easy.
