Presentation

Due to Technical malfunctions the software I use to edit all the videos used in my video blog posts doesn't play any sounds anymore so I couldn't hear the footage whilst editing.. and due to that way it was filmed I couldn't use our faces to figure out what was being said or by who So I had to look at the sounds shown on the bottom to identify where the louder sounds are played which I assumed to be where media was featured during our presentation. This proved to be rather successful, however  we had a few awkward moments where technology faltered slightly which resulted in lengthy pauses and not so subtle whisperers from both our group and fellow classmates due to the quietness of these parts of the audio they unfortunately didn't show up on the sound indicators so I couldn't point them out in the video so they had to stay.

I went back a few times to see if I could make a wild guess as to where these useless and slightly embarrassing moments were but in fear of cutting off important sentences and explanations  and potentially ruining the entire clip I decided that this probably wasn't the best way to solve our problem and left the constant erm, uhh and ah's in.  I also attempted to have music playing in the background as the video is roughly 16 minutes long and i felt like it would be easy to get bored, however due to issues with the sound I couldn't hear if the lyrics were overpowering us as we weren't exactly loud whilst speaking so I had some trouble leveling out the sound of the video and the ones from the mp3 placed over the footage, I ended up having to make 3 different versions of  the same video as the first one had no background what so ever and the second one was distracting as the songs drowned us out completely. the final one still has the music included however it's so low you can barely notice it, until the end when an animated image of us is used which is quite disappointing,
