and more practice...

Backing up Richard's previous point... alpha team is really getting to the point where filming really needs to be undertaken as soon as possible. The last thing that we all want is to fall behind, but with only 2 of the group present at quite a lot of the lessons, it is hard to be motivated or to feel like we are making progress. I personally think that once the group has arranged a date to film then we can relax a bit and just worry about editing after that. 

Richard and I spent the last two lessons having an experiment with final cut express. We worked out things like how to modify the speed of shots, how to alter the exposure levels and generally change what the picture looks like on the screen. We also became fairly proficient at cutting and editing the length of the audio and visual using the toolbar on the side. Hopefully, after this, we can get straight onto editing after our filming process is over without any hassle.
