We were still unable to find a way of importing the photo scans into AVID in high quality, and the images we had been using were too low quality to use. We could not find a simpler way of turning the shaky shots into still screen-grabs either, and did not have enough time to follow the process it required for each shot. As these problems carried on I continued to work on my edit of the film as a back-up.
I sent my fine cut to Elliot for him to copy as we were running very low on time. We exported the video from there for Jamie to redo the entire sound design in Pro Tools, including adding music, soundbites and balancing audio. This was a bad decision which wasted a lot of time as we had to re-find all the soundbites from the audio clips to put into the mix. As a result, there wasn't enough time to EQ the audio and create fades in and out of each clip.
After this was completed Jamie exported the sound with the video and I took it away to add the high quality images Sony Vegas. However, an error prevented me from importing the finished video file into the editing software and this was not possible. I tried to fix the problem which I suspected was the result of an unknown codec, but as it was too late to render the film again we instead decided to upload the cut I had made.
We presented our film and talked about the project; how the idea had changed and developed, the problems we faced with contributors and our stylistic influences. The feedback we received was largely positive. We were praised for how we'd found a story and created a film despite the issues we had faced, adapting to the constant changes in direction we have had to make. A minor criticism was made about some of the photos not being on screen for long enough, which I agree with, and will bear in mind for similar projects in the future
