Throughout week 7 so far, I have continued to have technical difficulties as although I managed to update my laptop and Premier Pro cc, I realised that the initial footage I shot on the video camera was in 4K. Therefore the footage was too higher quality for me to properly edit due to the fact the footage would constantly lag. However because the computers in building 9 use a more recent software, I was able to begin properly editing on the computers in the building 9 edit suites. It automatically felt natural to edit according to the order the cake was made, therefore the order of the of the piece wasn’t a tough decision to make, however trialling what the duration of each of the shots should be was something I had to really think about. In class on Wednesday of week 7 I showed to the class 1 minutes worth of edited footage and the feedback I got was very helpful. As in my first edit it was evident that it was me doing the baking, as in some shots my hands were visible and it took the attention less of the actual ingredients encountering, and more on me simply just baking a cake, and the purpose behind the piece itself was lost.

The film we watched on Mondays class of week 7 called Filter Beds by Guy Sherwin, enabled me to think further about the effect close up and extreme close up shots can give to a piece, as Sherwin’s shots were so focused on specific elements of whatever was in his shots such as power lines, planes or tree branches. This video as well as the feedback from Wednesdays class allowed me to edit my shots, focusing solely on the close ups of just the ingredients encountering, as that is the overall point of the piece.
