Editing VII: Finished Narration (9.12.08)

Progress
We completed the narration section of the documentary today. The only problem is that at the moment, the film lasts for over 5 minutes. Everything that is said throughout the narration is quite important, so now it will be a tough decision on what to take out.

Sound Quality
Another problem we have encountered, is that the sound level drops dramatically at the end of Nathan's opening statement. To fix this we used the audio mixer feature of Premier Pro. This allows us to adjust volume levels within a single track, which is ideal when you only want one part of an audio track louder or quieter. Also, because we have cut up many of the long answers, we have some other minor jumps in volume and a jerky feeling throughout the statements. This we will try to sort out as we go along, but are trying not to get stuck on small things so that we can get everything done and do the final tweeks at the end. (See Screenshot)

Issue
As of yet, we still have not corrected the problem mentioned with the introduction. The transition of the two shots now doesn't work at all. Instead of the shot freezing and slowly fading out while the image slowly fades in, the first shot now goes black as soon as they begin to overlap. We decided to leave the technical tweeks until the end however, due to the very limited amount of time we have left to finish our documentary.
