Studio Production Unit- VT Link Practice

For the studio production edit workshop, I have been practicing using Final Cut Pro to edit someone else's footage. I found this to be quite a difficult experience, as some of the footage was missing due to us not having panelists yet.
The hardest part however was that there was no outside sound recording besides the camera the group used, and as such I didn't have better quality sound to work with. I did everything I could with what I was provided however, and using some assets I found on youtube, and inserting some black title screens to replace the missing footage, I managed to create something that was semi-viable.

Now that I have created this video, and the rest of the class is working on their own edits, we have a bit of an idea about how our final product will look. We also have gained some valuable experience in editing footage that we have had no part in filming, and as such, I feel more confident about editing other people's footage in the future.
I believe editing will be a lot easier in the future once a set script has been created, as the editors will then have a skeleton to begin adding to, as opposed to having to create the story of the show as they find the footage.

I had to speak about how easy or difficult it was to edit this piece of film, and I made some points about about it, including;

• The greenscreen in the background made it difficult for me to know whether or not this was supposed to be a VT link or a studio piece, but I compromised by using the greenscreen to insert some relatable graphics, such as a screenshot from the videogame that Tim was speaking about and the "#Whatyousayin" logo.
• Although the shots the cameramen used were choreographed properly, they seemed quite odd at times, as at the time of filming, I assume they didn't know the layout of the set we wanted to use, and therefore at times Tim would be speaking to the "contributors", but they weren't sure which side of the screen they would be appearing.
