Well last night, I stayed after school for another 2 and a half hours. These hours made me realise that we still did have a lot to do to make it as interesting as our last years commentary. I managed to nearly complete question 3 as I just needed to get a few more pictures from the Internet, and it gave me the opportunity to get roughly over a third edited in question 4. Staying behind last night was the right decision because, it gave Rachel and Roisin more time to edit their questions. Also, at lunch we were meant to be doing some more editing, however, the other year 13 group was in there so, unfortunately, again, we were unable to do anything.
However, I am extremely happily with the process made and very grateful that we have an extended deadline so we have a couple more extra days. I am also extremely happy that I have been able to get my teeth stuck in to editing process of our evaluation. I feel that if we can have spend a few extra more hours on the computer, we will be able to make an evaluation that we are all pleased off.

Webpage Finished
Here is the Webpage finally finished! (Just click on the link below)
Wix
For me, creating a webpage using Wix was a very enjoyable task, despite it taking up a lot of time. I've worked really hard trying to perfect it and ensure the synergy of all aspects of our final product are apparent within the webpage and hope I have been successful. Just as Rachel with editing and Gemma and Jade on the Digipack, I feel we have all played to our strengths well!!
Wix is a great way of creating a flash website that's user friendly, easy to use and free! Because it is flash based, for me owning a mac and when Rachel and I were working on a Windows computer, it was extremely fast whilst editing.
Today's evaluation editing plan
So today, we arranged to do many hours of editing as we really are committed to making that deadline tomorrow. We planned that in the free and lunch time, we would spent the lesson editing and stay behind after school as well to try and get as much done as possible.
Well, at break time we went in room 101 to get loaded up and we found that it was already being used by the other year 13 group. We then had to have a word with them about what we are going to do. This is because, they have had the computer for the past two days, so we all felt that we needed some good quality time on there. Therefore, we spent second period and lunchtime editing. In these two time gaps we put in order and cut all our speaking parts so now that we just need to make it more interesting by using screen shots and show evidence of what we are talking about.
We have also arranged that tomorrow, the other year 13 group will be working on their evaluation during second period and we will be working on ours during lunch time.
The deadline is coming up very quickly and we are all feeling the pressure, which can be seen by our friends. Hopefully, with the computer sharing now in plan, it is looking better that we will meet the deadline. However, Rachel and Roisin still have some speeches to film and we are going to film all four of us for the beginning and the ending. We also need to upload some of our footage again as some cant be found.
With this check list still in our mind, I am staying after school tonight to try and get the missing footage uploaded again and to start putting in our evidence. I may start our menu for our disk too, however, I am not sure on that yet. Just in case we haven't uploaded to the disk yet by the end of tomorrows school day, Jade and myself have made ourselves free to get this finished off and make it something we are proud of and worth all the stress that came with it.

The final digipack
This is our final digipack is a view on the net. We worked very hard on this and we hope that you all like it.
Trouble that may effect the deadline
As it has been drilled into our heads several of times, that our deadline is this Thursday. With only a very short amount of time to do our evaluation, we created a plan of splitting the questions up to help us reach this deadline. However, no one in our group thought about the situation with the computer.
We are currently sharing a mac computer with another year 13 group who are also working towards the same, tight deadline. This means that both groups are fighting for the same computer. Over the past couple of days, Jade and myself have planned to go and get a head start on editing, however, the computer has been in use. This means that we are going to need some sort of system so that both us and the other media group, get the same amount of time use for the computer, as this is the only way we can all have a chance of finishing for the deadline.
To help us near completion, we are all giving up some of our free time and I, along with others if they don't mind, maybe staying late after school on Wednesday so we wont have to rush the editing during the lunch hour.

Evaluation editing
So today's lesson, we uploaded mine and Jades questions, the audience feedback and what Rachel and Roisin had filmed so far. This took all lesson so unfortunately not much editing got done. However, I did find out that as we filmed all the questions without stopping the camera recording so it all came out in one clip, it wont actually take that long to find the parts we need and edit out what we don't need. This is very good news as we were worried that it would take a long time. But with little time to achieve a full evaluation, it is nice to hear, that finding the extracts that are needed, will be easier than expected.
