Week 11 (28/11) : Creative Project Edit and Further Issues!

This week we were able to crack on editing our creative project as our group media folder had been resolved. Unfortunately when it came to editing we stumbled across a lot of further issues, a lot of the time Premier Pro had a notification saying that our media was continually pending and we could hear the audio but not see the visuals. Every time we came to editing we were always stuck with this issue. A couple of times we managed to sort it out but it just kept happening at random. We managed to get around a minute of our project done despite these issues but we were nowhere near on time to finish our project by the time of the deadline.

Due to group members being available/unavailable at different times and with the extension to our deadline only 3/5 of us actually being in the country to work on the project we were very limited when it came to finding time for us to manage to edit. On Wednesday (14/12) the day before our submission deadline we managed to sort out the issue of the pending media files, it was a case that the media cache was going to the wrong destination and was fixed in terms of a lot of trial and error. We got to around half way through our edit and the computer we were on (Silverstone Building, Edit Workshop 2, Mac 'Chaplin') crashed and restarted itself. Unfortunately when we logged back on to the computer and tried to open our group media folder it came up with the message "resource currently unavailable" the same issue that we had a few weeks back, that took a while to be resolved! As it was around 18:15 that this issue occurred none of the media technicians were on campus and ITS was shut. We sent an email to all of the relevant people who we thought would be able to help us with the issue, but unfortunately in the short time that we had we got little to no responses. 

As we cannot currently access any of our files we have no other option but to submit what we do have i.e our blogs and our critical introduction.
