filming completed

I have finished filming the interview and some cutaway scenes. The questions I asked during the interview were:

Why did you join the course?

What are you looking to do after the course?

How do you feel the Access course has prepared you for higher education?

Have you studied at A-level qualification in college prior to joining the Access course?

Did you gain A-Level qualifications?

Do you find the workload on the Access course easier to manage than at A-Level?

Do you find studying easier/more enjoyable moreso than at college?

What do you enjoy most about the course?

Would you recommend the course to people?

The day went off without any hitches, which was good.

questions

Here are a list of questions I have thought up:

Why did you join the course?

What are you looking to do after the course?

Do you feel that the Access course prepares you for higher education in more ways than through specific A-level subjects? (overall study skills and broad subjects – maths, critical thinking, essays and academic texts)

Have you studied at A-level qualification in college prior to joining the Access course?

Why did you leave college? EXPAND

Do you find the workload on the Access course easier to manage than at A-level?

Do you find studying easier/more fun now that you have more life experience/more mature, compared to when you went to college?

What do you enjoy most about the course?

Would you recommend the course to people looking for a way to get into University?

I have included some generic questions as well. By asking these I can use snippets from them, for example if the person says "This course is really fun" I can edit that bit into the end of the movie.

new project - podcasting

We have begun a new project. For this we will be creating a one minute movie about the Access course at Sussex Downs college, the course allows people to gain qualifications in order to be accepted into University. We will be creating the movie using Final Cut Pro.

All the work is done, I am now just waiting for the memory stick to arrive in the post...

slight problem: audio embedded in video

Whilst exporting the .mov file to .flv i forgot to uncheck the 'encode audio' option, meaning that the sound was included in the .flv. This meant that i had to re-exported the mov.

However that meant that i had to find the same point i did last time, to ensure that the animation runs smoothly and in sync.

With a lot of tinkering I have reached a compromise and the movie hasn't suffered!
