Editing The Samba Performance

Again, Philippa imported the Samba performance onto the computer. The footage lasted over sixteen minutes and Philippa managed to cut the video down to seven minutes. We decided it would be a good idea to get an interview with a Level 2 student on their experiences on working with the Junction and also what it was like to do the Samba performance in town in front of people.
As we were unable to get an interview on time, I remembered that the Level 2 group made video diaries on their experiences, which was on vimeo. This was what we were looking for, so I downloaded the video from vimeo and put it onto the editing timeline. Due to time restraints, I didn't have enough time to sit through the entire video, so I used the first interview. I mixed it in with the footage of the Samba performance .
I also edited the interview with Nick and put alternate cuts within the video to make it look quite edgy and fast paced. After that, the video was ready. I quicktimed it and gave it to Dave, who put it into the documentary. So from a sixteen minute video to a minute and a half, we cut it down quickly.

If only we met the deadline...
