I think we all felt a sense of achievement watching through our final edits on thursday. We could all picture ourselves crowded round the Mac the night before, making sure everything was perfect enough to show. I am happy with our fianl doc. I feel that everything we had worried about the week before we handled very professionally and i am happy by how the group worked together to get everything polished. Even though Jess and Chris did the majority of the editing I feel like I had my input in the last week when it came to my voiceovers and how the whole thing structured out.
When we first had the documentary in mind, we wanted to have a contributor that had a bad experience with laser eye, as well as someone who had it done sucessfully. However as the weeks progressed it wasnt just me and Jess trying to find a bad story contributor who was willing to be on camera, it was all of us. It was then we realised that it would be ok to include an email we got from a certain contributor about her bad story, and then put that into a voiceover. Visually we showed Graphics throughout. I loved this idea, I thought it showed a lot of imagination and creativity.
We then used thursday to look at everyones work. The one critisism the group had for ours was the sound levels and colour correction. And how this showed up on screen. However it was only minor misstakes that didnt make a difference compared to the layout of the whole thing. A proud momento for us all. For the future there would be only one thing I would change. We well worked together as a team however we were a little too optimistic at the start of the planning. This lead to use forgetting to do minor things, such as finding locations and specific contributors. In the future I would plan our time out a bit more, it was similar to my individual project as well. However I dont have any regrets.
