Editing was most defiantly a last minute affair because of the vast chasm of technical issues which arose before us. The continually crashing editing software was something everyone endured what others avoided was the problem importing files we had when we attempted to use a digital camcorder for one of our multiple re shoots the computer freaked as we tried to import the files and refused to accept they had any video and just played them back as audio files. We thought we had overcome this when one of the schools IT workers converted the files unfortunately when we imported them this time there was chunks missing, and audio out of sync. All of this resulted in us editing right up to the deadline.
So after hours of hectic cutting, audio adjustments and title creation we were ready to begin to piece together all the sections, unfortunately my partner was “unavailable” for a large portion of the final editing process so, despite his large input on early cuts, the absolute final editing became somewhat of a solo project.
Once the best copyright free audio track had been found and a clever title sequence created we deemed the project to be as finished as we could get it, there was no fancy effects or intricate camera work it was a simple rough independent British film which is exactly what we wanted, that isn’t to say it couldn’t do with some polish but we didn’t have the time.
