This week was quite difficult - we were thrown straight in the deep end into Winol (Winchester News Online). Some people already knew what roles they had been given prior to the first meeting about Winol, others found out what they has been assigned.
I found that I had been put down to news report on community matters. After the meeting, I looked into stories and decided to go with one about an inquiry about a motocross site out of Winchester. I researched the piece and went to visit one side of the argument, but it all fell apart when the listed location of the company didn't exist.
I had already arranged to help with the Barton Farm report, and decided it would be best to carry on with this. We attended the beginning of the inquiry at the Guildhall. We managed to split up aware of time constraints - I helped Natasha film a piece to camera and some shots on location at Barton Farm, whilst Shira stayed at the inquiry.
I was quite pleased with the shots that were captured. The editing process was divided up and I felt that Natasha became much more confident in her abilities. Unfortunately on Wednesday we had problems with the software, where the project could not locate the clips on the external harddrive. We had to get the help of the technician several times as this happened more than once.
We were not aware of what was required of us - not understanding straplines or how to put them on, or even about the headline clip. This made the whole editing process confusing and rather hectic. Thankfully we managed to finish the package at 1pm, but it was quite close.
