Today was my set day to edit my project. We were all automatically assigned one day each in the studio booking system. Luckily for me it was Wednesday. As I was filming on the previous Saturday, it gave me enough time over a few days to get organised and to plan ahead before entering the editing suite to edit all through that day. I planned by sorting through all my footage (as there was a fair share of it). I marked down the good clips, the bad clips and the clips I was unsure of in a rough edit decision list. When it came to editing I was able to thank myself for my previous organisation prepared in my own time. The edit went very smoothly at first as I knew exactly which clips to import and use within Avid. This saved a lot of time sorting through each clip in the suite itself marking them down as usable or unusable. This would have eaten into my allocated hours to edit greatly. I then began to upload my footage into a rough timeline, where I then chipped away at it with great precision to ensure the clips were in the order shown within my storyboards. I became more confident as the day went by. This was my first time using Avid for more than just a few minutes in tech dems etc. By the end of the day I was in very good stead to finish my project the following day. Although this was not my allocated day for editing, I organised with a fellow student via Facebook chat to use just half an hour of their time to export my final edit. This was because I ran out of time by 7 o'clock, the time we are kicked out of the building at the closing hour.
