Digital News Production- Entire News Piece (Rough Cut) Nearly Finished!

Andrei has been hard at work editing the footage we have filmed together into 2 separate video pieces, the live piece and the package, and then once again into the final news piece. As such he has created a rough cut of the news piece, which is almost finished. It can be seen here:



Personally, I love the way this has turned out. There are one or two things with the video which have been addressed that need fine tuning (such as the fact the transition from my live piece to Ren in the studio has a brief fraction of a second that isn't supposed to be there) and the fact that the sound is abnormal in some areas. This is easily fixable however, and Andrei has stated that he will definitely be able to get these small problems sorted before submission tomorrow.

As an extra thing to add, I also suggested that a "LIVE" watermark be added to my live piece to reinforce the fact that it is a live piece, and also we could possibly add the address of the Youtube channel and other online social networks that we use when Ren asks the viewers to subscribe to the youtube channel for more news.
I believe once these two things are added, and once the audio and wrong frame problems are fixed, our film will be ready to submit.
I believe all the original problems that were found with our rough cut, such as Ren sounding too formal and the branding of our news network not being obvious have been alleviated and as such our news piece looks believable and professional.
I am genuinely pleased with the way this has turned out.
