Editing and Learning

I've been spending quite a bit of time trying to edit footage again and going through it a second time is teaching me a lot of things. One of my lessons from Mr. Van Ballenberghe was to make mistakes so I could learn from them. I'm not saying I purposely made mistakes but I should expect mistakes to happen. I'm also taking notes on how to fix little clips that can't be fixed through editing as well as getting an idea on the mindsets that cinematographers have when looking through a camera lens. I didn't expect to have a great mastery of filming when I started but did I hoped the things I would be filming were simple enough to get a high production value or high quality look; nevertheless, the work that I have now is not completely close to that quality but it does show progress I suppose. I guess I'm going to visit the UofA sometime soon to grab some advice from my advisors again.

I guess time is coming up and we are at the polishing stage of all of our work and I hope for the best for everyone. I'm pretty happy that I got to see most of you on spare time even when we were busy with projects. Maybe this is a sort of equivalent to the APs that are coming up for the other grades in the school so this may be super serious time. Let's get a practicin' on this presentation that will make up for any loss points on other parts of this project.
