Just had our first crit screening, at first I was nervous having to show our 3 minute wonder especially as we had to stand up at the front of the cinema whilst it was played and feedback was given.
The feedback was better than I expected, the problems we now have to face before the final screening are things we knew or very small in comparison to the rest of work put in. It was very useful having Jeremy Gibson give feedback as it gave us a chance to have more feedback from someone else in the industry.
Also many thanks to him for being a guest lecture at the University, it allowed us the chance to hear about a programme that took Jeremy 7 years to deliver, Windfarm Wars. Hearing about the problems you can face whilst creating programmes and being able to ask questions about the industry has really helped.

Time to edit!
Countdown to our first crit screening is approaching and in 3 days we have Jeremy Gibson who used to be head of documentaries for the BBC come to give us feedback.
I don't know whether I feel frightened or excited...a bit of mixed emotions!! But very worth while!
The editing process has been going well, Melissa is very effective. I had a slight panic due to being a little bit behind other groups but my confidence is back after seeing how much she has done in such little time and how good the quality is. Still some fine tuning but definitely got a structure starting to form.
I still don't understand how editors can edit for such long periods of time, the edit suite is starting to send me slightly crazy!!

Christmas over- upbeat spirit regained!
Before we broke up for Christmas the relief of having the filming finally done had come. As much as I have enjoyed the filming we have come across some difficulties such as filming children, filming a very fast swimmer from underwater and the most emotional interview I have done at such an early time within the course. I couldn't have asked for Christmas to come sooner and definitely needed some time to refuel.
Now back at Uni and after much rest and eating my bodyweight in turkey, stuffing and mince pies I'm ready to get back to work.
Looking forward to seeing the footage come together and working as a group in the editing process.
