Rough Edit of Film/Video


This Video piece the original is approximately 3 minutes long, this is a short segment to give the general idea of the work. As the focus in the piece, I have taken the place of the computerised voice of the Sat Nav system adding a human element to the instructions to reach the place of Wenham in Suffolk. This was filmed rough to give a general idea within the reading of the instructions it is noticable I have a cold, again reinforcing the idea of a human element. I have to ensure I don't get too self-concious about certain work. The Video itself was shot using a mini dv camcorder, the light is too severe in the background and the family/domestic setting off the piece suits the nature of the piece. The sound quality is something that would also need to be addressed. Do I reshot and possibly lose some of the charm of the original or to I try to work with what I have? I have a leaning to the latter suggestion and will work on the audio and quality of the piece.
Also looking into how I start/end a film piece and look into editing in more detail.

you could always try and do a bit of screen capture and cut between you and google maps?? for better audio a seperate mic would be usful.

Thanks for the comment, yes I had originally used a separate audio recording device (which I had placed in the bowl) but I neglected on a few of the settings so it did not record the sound as I had intended.
