On thursday i did a few things, firstly i had to go back to colour grading as i had been putting it off since tuesday however before i did this i made sure to get Fiona's feedback on the colour grading i had already done, it was clear when i was showing her the work i had already done that i was all over the place with my methods and this made it more difficult for Fiona when it came to driving and showing me areas i needed to work on. I feel like i know a little better now how to approach colour grading at least in a more organised manner in Premier CC, however it is a skill i am still quite unfamiliar with (though something i could manage) and quite frankly i hope i wont have to do colour grading like this again.
Next up was picking music. Fiona showed me AudioNetwork.com which was an extremely useful tool in picking out some high quality tracks quickly, the search engine made looking for music very good. I eventually compiled a small list of six possible tracks which i searched for themes such as "sunrise" and "Inspiring" but with enough variation between them to give fiona some variation. Fiona went through the songs i picked for her as she needed to download them as i don't have an account. She downloaded them along with some others she felt were more appropriate, and i went ahead and tried to edit it to fit with each interview, this was particularly difficult and fiona practically had to edit the audio for me in order for audio beats to match with visual cues, however seeing her work made me feel more at ease about fiddling with video clips as a lot of them were edited with not a huge amount of forward planning. It was quite disheartening how much i struggled with this, I am unsure if this was due to my inexperience or because ideas weren't communicated to me, but i often felt quite lost and frustrated, which honestly has been a similar theme throughout the week. However the routine of knowing when i can stop thinking about work and start enjoying myself in London after 6 is strangely satisfying.
