Evaluation

As I wasn't in charge of editing the editor wanted only one member of the group to attend a session at a time so we all had the opportunity to express our thoughts and ideas on the edited  piece without arguments and control. When I attended and watched the rough cut of the edit I was disappointed with the dialogue scene as the quality wasn't perfect as I could clearly hear the rain on the umbrella. Also, as the male actor was more confident he shouted a lot and his voice was clear compared to that of the female actress who's dialogue was quiet and didn't match with the males. We did record this dialogue scene numerous time but all the tracks had the same problem. The editor did the best he could but I thought what we had was poor and could have been easily fixed had we en-counted this problem at the beginning of the edit, such as re-record the dialogue.  I also thought that the final product might look too amateur with the over use of Fades and quick cuts with some of the shots being a little too shaky. However, I was glad to see that all the footage we used was perfect and some of the sounds captured were crisp and clear. We did come across quite a few problems with this project but I am glad we en-counted them as it has been a learning curve for me.
