Creative Differnces Perhaps?

Hey it's Erin again and today I decided to drop in on the film crew during the editing process at Littlestar Media Productions. First I was greeted with a sticky note informing me to use another buzzer. It was very DIY.


While Maria phoned around for someone to fix the buzzer, the film crew were set the task to create the shop sequence to put into the actual film. But before that Maria explained to us how they should edit, and the answer is that it should look as how you would naturally see something. Her example also included a pretend situation where Claire and me would be poking each other, then I would get a pitch fork and she would get a shotgun. A rather peculiar way of explaining it, but it worked and we could see what she meant. Though I couldn't imagine the escalating poking situation.


Every 20 minuets someone new took to the editing controls. Rather than group discussion it was more like a debate. Everyone literally had a different point view. In a way it was good because it became a group effort. Conner the perfectionist said that he felt with like "a big boy" using the Mac with 2 screens. And Steve was warned not to "reinvent the wheel" by Maria.


I should of took a picture of the endless sea of empty Diet Coke cans that are still probably sitting on the table. So I leave you with a charming picture of Conner and Jack.
Bye for now... Erin :)
