Seeing that I'm a perfectionist and the only person in our group who likes editing (I'm rather competent at it) I was unofficially made in charge of editing as the other guys, without thinking just left it to me to do. I worked on it with Mathew by my side who was my second in command in terms of quality and he was my second opinion whilst the other two guys were elsewhere engaged. I've had to use Garage Band on the macs which is absolutely fine for piecing together a video of your holiday or a family member's birthday party but it isn't all that great when it comes to doing technologically advanced stuff when making a serious documentary.
I've put in a lot of effort into the editing of the documentary and I'm still not entirely happy with the outcome and there are a few things which I need to address before I can declare it done.
A major problem I've come across is the sound quality on the interview with Barrie Rouse, it's not very loud at all and this could cause potential problems for the audience hearing him, when you have earphones in (on the macs), the sound isn't too bad but generally it's very quiet. This is down to the lack of equipment we have as an external microphone (for the camera or a handheld wireless mic) or a boom mic would have been great.
Enough of my ranting, it's almost done so watch this space. :)
