Audience Feedback, Further Editing

Upon completing our rough cut of the video, we decided to start getting some audience feedback on the work. We asked our classmates to watch the video and provide their feedback in the form of "Likes" and "Dislikes". This allowed us to work out which parts of the video we needed to work on. This was helpful because we found that by working on it constantly for so long it became difficult to see which were the weaker parts and which were stronger. Obviously we already had an idea but with the audience feedback we were able to agree as a group on what we needed to change.

We were now able to enter our final stage of editing, bringing us closer to our final product. Jacob came into his own here, and showed how well he could use the Final Cut programme. He was also able to provide some screen grabs of the editing in progress. We had agreed that he could work on the editing as much as he wanted while the rest of the group worked on the ancillary tasks.

We all suggested a kind of overlaying affect across the whole video, possibly a slight red, to go with our running theme. Jacob also achieved this on top of the other editing work.
