Week 14

This week the main objective was editing all of our raw footage and compiling it onto the website. Because we had so much material, we split the amount of work between each member. Each person was responsible for their own biographical information. This included a personal photo (or headshot), a written bio  about that person, and a short video combining his/her preparation for the competition and the pre-competition interviews. As I didn’t have any preparation, my interview is interspersed with me watching Netflix, eating frosting, and taking a nap on the couch, very intense work. In addition to this, I was working on editing the “judging” video. Following the competition, we each judged each other’s cakes on both appearance and taste. Then we each picked a winner. I edited this footage together to be put on the results page of the website. Because it isn’t a very serious topic, I tried to reflect that in my footage keeping in some of the more humorous comments on the cakes’ appearances and taste. We attempted to work on the website together earlier this week, but realized only one person can edit the page at a time. Instead, we just compiled everything that would go on the page into folders on Box and are taking turns putting it together.
