As today was our penultamate editing session it was important that we began finalising our sequence. I went in my free period prior to our lesson to finish the titles as it is quite a laborious task to do, especially in a group setting, however, I was happy to do it as it gave me something to concentrate myself on. I began finishing the titles Freddie had started in the previous session but once I had finished Tom, our technical supervisor, had pointed out slight differences in each title. We then realised it was because we had been changing the aspect of each title rather than the font size itself, this ultimately made each ones slightly different and can make our sequence look far more amateur. In order to fix this I took a photo of the aspects/ size and other information of the first title and re-sized each title. Then, in the main editing session we all gave our opinions on the sequence and made slight adjustments to it while Carl continued developing the soundtrack, such as cutting the final shot sooner so it was unclear whether the ball would go in the goal or not. Using photoshop, we created our title card as it meant we were able to continue using the same font but change the 'o' in 'Man On' to a football.
We then got to a point where we were close to being finished when Adam mentioned how the sequence appeared to be chronological and then changed to non-linear towards the end. In reality, it was meant to be a montage of a game and a flashback to the motivational speech given at half time by the coach to increase tensions before the penalty. As we had the time, we thought we may as well explore changing it so the speech comes in a 'real' halftime rather than as a flashback. In order to do this we duplicated the sequence to do a recut to compare the two. However, we are unsure how or when this happened but the recut was deleted and we had shifted around the shots in the actual sequence. While this wasn't detrimental as we still have another editing session to fix it, it made it difficult to compare the two, meant we had lost our original progress and would've messed with Carl's sound as it may of not come out identical to the copy he is mixing the sound against. Luckily, the technical team were able to help use recover the original from previous saves and meant we could keep both. While we haven't had time to fully discuss it, and left it for use to think about which we preferred, I feel was though the original might be the better option as the speech really adds an element of atmosphere and tension that would be diminished if it wasn't underscoring the preparation for the penalty.
