Last Day Of Edit For The Tate

This morning we had a group meeting with Jamie. We were told that on Wednesdays for the next couple of weeks we would be working with Graham. These lesson are mainly aimed at those going to Tanzania in February and those that want to progress onto the degree course next year, but the lessons are open to everyone. We were then told a bit of information about the degree course and asked if we are thinking about progressing onto it. I am going to apply for the new degree course in film making at Blackburn College, but I'm also going to apply for other course.
   Things for the Child Action work experience have changed because of the meeting that I attended on Tuesday because no one but students from Blackburn College turned up. We are now going to have the interviewees come into college and do the interviews in the TV studio. We are going to set the studio up ourselves and Matt is going to help organise everything as he is being brought into the email link. Once the interviews have been done we are going to organise a time to go and get the cutaways that will be needed for the interviews.

Today we wanted to get the Tate footage all edited. The interview had been edited down to five minutes. This was the shortest time we could get it down to because everything that was in it was essential to the interview. The only problem we had was there wasn't enough shots, so that we can just use a shot once. A couple of shots we had to use twice, but watching the interview back this actually worked because the shots weren't close together. Sammie had to leave college early so I waited for Brian to come and look at the footage and give his opinion. Brian said that we did a really good job. There wasn't much that he said we could possibly change. I swapped two cutaway shots around so that there are two close-ups of a picture then you see the fully picture at the end. Brian also took a bit of the interview out, but this made the interview better. It did't take any of the information out, it just made the interview make more sense. Brian also showed me a trick. If you here a tiny hiss or something similar in the audio you can add 'constant gain' and this will either reduce the hiss so you can hardly hear it or it will completely take it away. 

Constant Gain

The purple section on the left side is the constant
gain. This takes away sounds like hiss' or reduces
them.

At the end of the interview I added some audio from the museum just to break it up. The artist talks throughout the interview and there are no gaps so adding the audio from the gallery will stop the documentary from ending abruptly. 

These shots below are the shots some of the shots that I wanted to get in the exhibition downstairs, but I was unable to get because I was working upstairs.
