Production Log 7

What progress did you make since your previous entry?

This week we have finished recording all the necessary footage we need to complete the documentary, we have uploaded the footage to the final cut x and have looked at them, so far they look fine, however there are few clips which need sound level checked, so that not that loud. Vox pot and all the interviewers have been completed.

What logistical challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?

Over this week, we logistical challenges like the fact that we had mis-placed the memory card which meant that us needing to look for it, but luckily i had left it at home which is better than losing all the footage which we had. Another logistical issue was that when we were recording the vox pot the public were very shy which meant them not wanting to face the camera, but we did manage to record couple of vox pot as we had asked over 20 people that day. 

What technical challenges did you face this week and how did you overcome them?

The technical challenges was that some of our video had sound issues because as it is winter there is a lot of wind which means that the sound of the wind effecting it as you won't be able to hear what the person is saying, as a solution you we recorded the audio separate with the microphone and then it was a lot better and clear. Another technical issue was that one of our footage was corrupted which meant us having to re-upload that footage but through an actual camera, this resolved the problem.

What targets do you aim to achieve before your next entry?

Our aim for next week is editing rough copy so that we can see what needs doing, also we need to record the voice over for the whole of the documentary, this may take time but will done in due course. If we complete all that next week we should be slowly catching up to the original production schedule.
