Ok, enough bizzare game references. My edit is currently being burnt onto a dvd. I sneakily tweaked it a little and did the things I ran out of time to do last week. I may not get graded for it but it'll be great showing it to my family and friends (the documentary I made last year put them all to sleep). I feel so acomplished! I don't even care anymore that Khyan's edit got picked cos I am still awesome!
So final thought time: All things considered, I loved making this film. There was stress, disagreements and dissapointments but we pulled through. I learnt a lot and acomplished a lot and had a good time with everyone. I know this all sounds cheesy but it's true. This is a great first step for my future and I think it'll lead me to great things.
And now the dvd is done and it's so shiny!! It feels like the end of a long hard quest...

And now we all get ice cream
The day has finally come- We finished post production!!
But it's not all good news. I ran out of time to do everything I wanted and am worried that it might be terrible. But that editing book said that you never really finish an edit, there will always be things you want to change. That's the same as writing a novel or doing coursework. You just have to do the best you can in the time you're given.
In the end we picked Khyan's edit for public viewing. I liked his edit a lot but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't dissapointed. It feels as if all my hard work counted for nothing.
But at least I worked hard on something I can still be proud of. And I learnt a lot about film editing and learning is why I came to university. I've been considering becoming an editor so maybe that's why I feel so peeved that my edit wasn't chosen. It wasn't really the edit anyway, it was the music. Khyan has better taste in music than I do.
So apart from the evaluation, nothing left to do but sit back and wait for the grades.
