Production Skills #4

In this weeks production skills session we continued with our editing sessions on Avid. Each session I become a little more confident with the use of the software. At first I was completely baffled, as a previous user of adobe premiere pro. I understood that this was to be a steep learning curve. To enhance my learning process with Avid I have purchased a how-to manual and general guidebook for beginners from amazon. The book cost a grand total of 5p, excluding delivery charge. As of yet I have not actually edited a sequence of footage together. I have half of my MM&I project filmed, with the other half ready to be filmed this following week. When I have acquired my footage I will begin editing it together, with the help of the avid guide. This is more or less an attempt to individually overcome any challenges without relying heavily on guidance of lecturers. As our lecturers are often busy, the more I can do to help myself instead of asking questions with obvious answers, the better.
