NEWS - The Edit

in this short post I will describe some of the issues we as a group faced as Laura edited the package, as I only actioned this from a tangental perspective(at the time i was working on the graphics to be integrated at the end of the edit.), this overview will be brief and only the issues that I noticed in particular.

the method that Laura used to edit the project was to edit each element of the package before integrating them together, then integrating the package and the live together with the studio footage.

this method mirrors how a real news broadcast is created, with the individual production teams producing their packages and lives before its editorially cut together throughout the studio live.

Rough Cut
our rough cut had some large faults according to our feedback, according to Helen it lacked a single vision, something I think Laura has fixed for the fine cut. basically we had issues integrating the interviews and story into a coherent whole.

Fine Cut
the fine cut appears to be very well integrated, package, studio and live integrating tightly. again as I've only been tangentially related to this part of the process,(I was creating the Final versions of the graphics and ident), I can only speculate that Laura has definitely made improvements over the Rough cut.
