When producing a video by yourself you have to do pretty much everything, I filmed everything so it is now time to edit it. This is not easy as I personally don't know what Kelly wanted to have in the video as my plan was a short under 5 minute video about what the charity has done in the last year. I wait for Kelly so we could create a sync assembly from the interviews to create a basic story, when I put everything in the time line it was over 30 minutes and that was from a transcript Kelly gave me.
We started cutting up interviews together as its a video for her and she knows the charity and what needs to be in to promote the video and therefore the charity.
We started editing together on Monday 30th March and constantly for 2 weeks till the Saturday 11th April of the Spring ball, we met up nearly everyday until the sync assembly was done, which took Kelly about 4 days to be roofless and cut it down to 10 minutes long but this was a struggle and I had to cut some out too. As soon as the interviews were done I could then do most of the editing by myself as it was just adding the pictures and videos, Kelly didn't quite understand that we needed to cover up all the cuts and the image jumps so I took over this and i showed her every couple of days how it was going and with 5 days to go I had to give Chris the graphic details and images so they would get done.
Once the graphics were done and put in the video started to shape up quickly and Kelly loved them and was happy with the video even at its rough stage, I worked really hard and spent a lot of time on the edit and going to meet Kelly to show her how it was going.
I finished the video the day before the Spring ball and Chris had to do the final touches before exporting it and giving Kelly the DVD on Saturday 11th this was a big relief as this was my life through easter but i am proud of this video and what i have done for Kelly and her Charity.
