Editing log January 6th 2014

What the group did today ?

• We uploaded the our footage to final cut pro, and went through all through footage to see what footage would be suitable for our documentary, so we can start editing the footage together. We also created bins for our footage to go in, so we are well organised.

Why we did this ?• The reason for uploading footage was so that we

have the right suitable footage for it to be edited together and be created to a good documentary.

• The reason for getting rid of some of the footage was that because some were not that much of good quality to be apart of our documentary.

• Creating bins help us be more organised with creating our documentary and it also gave us easy access to the footage that we need.

I was personally responsible for:

• For making a new folder for our documentary in bins this to made it easier to find the footage that we used and made us be more organised.

The purpose/impact/effect of this was

• Creating bins for our footage is very important for us as without bins are work will be all over the place and unorganised. Being is organised is the most important part as being organised helps enables our focus on your priorities.

• This also helps us have easy access on our footage and help us find it more quickly, this helps us to be able to start editing quicker than usual.
