TV News: First edit & Helen's feedback

Having filmed and acquired all of the footage on our hard drives, we began quickly to edit the footage to have something to show Helen for the rough cut. 

We split the editing up between us as a group, Katie did the Live news sequence, Alex did the promo, Melissa did the first scene of the package and I did the rest of the package.

In total honesty we didn't have a great deal to show Helen as we'd only just got the footage together, but what we had to show we received positive feedback on. As we were going for a quirky, interesting an humorous feel, Helen supported that an stated she felt it also. 

There was something that we as a group wanted to ask Helen, basically to get the all clear on a shot that we wanted to include in the package sequence but to no surprise it wasn't granted clear passage. We had shot two kinds of end sequences so fortunately we didn't just rely heavily on that one. 

Feedback was clear and concise, Helen had mentioned she already felt it had a quirky, fun, engaging tone to it and that she could see people watching this within our target audience. 
Feedback - 
- A few more cutaways on the Live news sequence.
- Get more down on the timeline for the package. 
- Think about the music choice for soundtracks.

Overall the 1st Edit meeting went positively and filled us with confidence and belief. We now just need to keep it coherent and have the same themes running throughout it.
