After making my last 3 pages for my website consisting of venues/gigs, upcoming festivals and a contact page i finished my site. I had to use two disks in the process of burning my site onto a disk because the first attempt failed as i didnt save images into the folfer i used which contained my site pages and when i opened the site up in safari the picutures never exsited the second attempt worked however and can be used perfectly in safari.

The product is now finally burnt on a disk and by using a bigger memory stick it seemed that the documentary would move onto the disk qiucker, this may have been because the more room remaining on the stick which let it get pasted ont othe tick qiucker. I also managed to finish my evaluation and handed both in along with my folder.

Today was the deadline date for the documentary product, unfortunatly we didnt manage to hand it in on time due to technical difficulties with the edit suite a simple burn on to DVD was not possible and instead we had to wait untill the next day because the time it was giving us intill burnt was 2+ hours and that was just to burn it on to the memory stick because we had to it in something called a qiucktime converstion which meant we had to get it on a memory stick big enough to fit it on first and then burn it in a different room off the memory stick and then onto a disk.
But the product did get finished, there were issues with making a good enough looking astons/titles though and went through many different types of software because some wernt working at the time. In the end I sufficed for a simple title made on final cut pro with a black box background on it.

Today me, Adam and Josh were the only ones in and we continued to crack on with the same worh we had been doing over the past 2 days. Plus without a cutaway which can show "Trevor" doing his job of tutoring young offenders his interview is pretty pointless including it in the documentary so we have decided to not include it. Josh seems unsure about including Joe Hibberts interview in the documentary while on the other hand i think Joe has some valid points and having worked with young offenders before makes him a pretty important part of our documentary.

Today it seemed like me, Josh and Adam are the only people turning up for college in our group or at least staying the full lentgh of the day as for the other 3 girls they either come in really late or not at all or go home extremely early. I told adam what we were missing in terms of pre-production and we attempted getting other people in the group to contribute towards the missing pre production work but didnt get very far, this made things difficult because me and josh were already editing and busy with other college work and adam was doing production work aswell, this ended up with me and Adam doing the majority of the pre production work such as location recce's, contact deatails, logistics, shot list's and scripts although josh had chance to help with one of the scripts. Also with having the evaluation also in the same time as the FMP, this was cutting our time even shorter but by managing time a little better i was managing to get the evaluation done aswell as editing the documentary.

We have the footage we can possibly get now being so close to the dealine of the FMP assignment and the final product lies on mine and josh's shoulders really on how well we edit it. I have to admint though due to the content we have and not having many cutaways at all this will be hard to make to look really good. Josh captured the interview with Joe Hibbbert and experimented in where it fit in amongst the other interviews and when Josh was done I continued the online edit. Iv'e found it extremely hard to edit the footage weve had with the rest of the group hanging around doing nothing though and messing around by the suites unfortunatly and this is slowing the production down. I also talked to Andy about any pre-production work we may be missing or to make sure what we included was in the folder.

This morning i finnaly finished my web page for the Music based programmin assignment this is now ready to be linked to the other pages next friday. The finishing touches included adding tables at the bottom of my page which displayed upcoming gigs with times and prices and who was playing and i had to stretch the body, left div and right div so that everything fit in comfortably.

We are also interviewing joe hibbert today because he has had good expierience with working with young offenders on a project called sound base.
