This is the point where the control freak in me came out. At very few points did I let the other members of my group take over the computer to edit. Although having them at my side during the editing process made me feel that was good enough to satisfy them. I honestly think it was very unfair of me now but at the time I simply just wanted to be rid of the project and start on the portfolio work.
It was the previous day in editing that we decided to cut the footage of Mike Johnstons interview, so Balve and I filmed some cutaway shots of the Main House to splice in while he is talking about the lack of space for a radio station at Bath Spa university. We also realised the documentary didn't work very well without a soundtrack, I decided on using the song "Don't You Evah" by Spoon for the introduction sequence and the scene on the green outside the Main House.
I liked the fact that I got a long with the crew and the interviewees we spoke to, I feel like we had a great time during filming however this may have resulted in a lack of professionalism. I think some of the things we could have benefited from was reviewing the footage after shooting to ensure that we were happy with the shots compositions and how some of the interviews would look in playback. It would have been a good idea to run through the interviews several times so that the interviewees could have possibly tightened up their answers as all the interviews were done in one take.
Here's the finished version of On The Air
