Technical problems: editing

This morning we attempted to edit the footage we had gained so far, however things did not go as planned. Initially, it seemed that there was some problem with the connection between the camera and the computer, as Final Cut Express was not recognising the device - this has been a recurring problem. Eventually we resolved this issue, but also experienced various problems involving capturing our footage. This was mainly due to having to capture the audio seperately, we also had difficulty in capturing Shona's interview. As her interview was 10 minutes long, the scratch disk appeared to not have enough space, however attempts to create a new scratch disk failed. On further inspection, it was apparent that there should have been enough space for Shona's interview as there was ample memory left on the scratch disk. We have not yet resolved this issue as we do not know how, we are experiencing similar technical difficulties to other groups which it is quite likely, could be attributed to the confusion of using a new editing programme.

On the 5th of november we were able to capture all of our footage so far by using a laptop.
