Kill It Kid-Evaluation

Today we produced our final edit of the footage Kill It Kid that we filmed at komedia.

  • Problems In which we encountered
From the start of the editing process to the end there were some technical problems in which we faced.
The first problem in which we encountered was the sound mix that we were fed from the engineer. The initial quality of the sound sounded fine in our headphones when we reviewed the audio in post the sound of the audio was severely damaged and we could only hear the baseline of the music and muffled words from the lead singer. To combat this we had to use an mp3 of one of the songs being performed on the day try and sync the pictures to the audio.


The second problem in which we encountered was the lack of cutaway shots and external footage as this became apparent as we progressed during the editorial process and it was the main reason why we decided to change the editorial format of the video from a documentary to a promotional video.


The footage that we did film was damaged in terms of quality and sound we filmed an interview and Vox-pops our interview that we filmed was very short and upon reviewing the footage of The interview I felt that sounded like more of a casual chat than an actual interview we were only able to use one segment of the interview in our final edit and we had to boost the sound levels and it still was of bad quality.

  • The Final Video Itself
The video itself is quite impressive considering the problems in which we had encountered during the whole edit, overall I am quite happy that the edit is finally out of the way .If I were to do things differently I would have recorded more cut-away shots of the venue and the crowds reaction towards the bands performance I  also would have double checked that the technical equipment was in working order so that I would not have any issues with the footage in post production . Finally I would have interviewed the band in more of an inquisitive way as I feel that a stronger interview would have helped to put together a better video package.
