we have finally finished the promo trailer today. suffice to say it was exhausting to get done but we luckily got to get the promo up to a great standard before finishing. on friday the 17th are group went out to film the final parts of the promo for the edit unfortunately however a few of the shots weren't as good as we had originally hoped as well as certain key shots that weren't even filmed. all day yesterday the 20th me and my editing team all sat down together to help edit the promo trailer it went well and although there was the odd technical hiccup we managed to make it through the day with alistar taking one of the final clips back to edit it in his spare time. and finally today we finished the promo and showed it of to foxy who praised some of the shots we had used and also went through it and helped critisces certain parts to help us achieve a better understanding of what we could have done. overall though the project went fairly well and i look forward to hearing back from our clint to hear what she thinks.

today we established half of the time line as we are still unsure as to what exactly it is that we are editing as we still don't have a finished story board. our sound tem are also working on deciding on a song and haves managed to find a local band that we may be able to use. the story board to is being further developed as well as filming being done on multiple locations. we also established as to how we would work as an editing team with myself overseeing the edit whilst my team works on smaller segments, once there segment is complete i have to review it and then add it to the main timeline to help work towards the main edit.

With this assessment we were tasked with deciding upon a way to help improve the company 2 posh 2 pitch. This is a company which specializes on glamping in Norfolk; glamping is a type of camping which is much more luxurious than traditional camping. The company that we are helping to improve is known as 2 posh 2 pitch have 4 different packages currently available empty tent, glamp it up, chill out and party tent. Each package gets progressively more expensive as each package contains more luxuries such as beds or lighting. On Friday the 19 several members of our team went off to meet up with the client to ask her as to what she would like to see within the promo trailer. When the group returned the following Tuesday we were informed of what the client would like to see within the promo trailer along with what they liked along with what they didn’t like from our suggestions. With this new information we were able to re-iterate what our plan was and what we would do as a promo. We were told that the client would like the promo to focus more on the areas around Norfolk to help entice more tourists along with showing only nice weather in the promo. When the team suggested our ideas  the client decided that it would be better to not use one of our original ideas of having the promo follow a young girl growing up instead she preferred the idea of having the trailer show the clients relaxing within their tent after having been in the busy city un-able to relax. With this in hand are group began to brainstorm ideas together working within the clients brief to help establish what exactly it is we are doing along with finalizing our vision for the promo. First we started with our original idea this was to have multiple shots of different families enjoying their glamping experience we instead however began to change the idea with it shifting more towards a road trip idea that would focus on the family and there holiday and then on to having two different families having two different experiences due to the fact that one chose glamping and the other did not. We were then told that with the later idea that we were beginning to mimic the other group and that we could either do the same idea or create our own, as a group we decided that it would be in our best interests to be original. At the same time the group also agreed that we should definitely do a promo trailer. With this in hand we decided to establish a running time with the maximum being roughly 2 minutes. Niamh then suggested that we should use a butterfly flying across the screen as a transition effect and the class all agreed. Whilst Jake and Arron wrote down a timeline I suggested that we should only reveal that is a tent at the end of the promo. My position in the group is one of the many editors my role will consist of working closely with the director to help create the same vision he has in mind, I was asked to be lead editor but I declined as I felt the Marcelo or alister would be better suited for the job.
