Uploading Footage to PC's - Avid Suite

After a progress meeting with Alex and Camilla, me and Emma decided to go and upload the footage we had recorded of the band from the TV Studio last Friday onto a PC in the Avid suite. Unfortunately due to work commitments, Molly and Ceri couldn't join us to see the footage we had previously recorded. As we had footage on one master tape for the 'Jealousy' and 'Caught me Cold' performances along with the tape that we captured footage from the Z1 which was left to record whilst the band warmed up etc, it took a good few hours to upload the entirety of film we had.
Looking back at the footage, we noticed a couple of the recordings from both performances had a few out of focus shots, which we decided won't be used within the final piece as it won't make our final piece look as professional as it could look. However, as we have decided to cut away from the performances to create a better audience interest, the audio from the performances with out of focus shots can still be imposed within the piece whilst an interview is playing on screen. We also came across a few natural shots of the band and individual band members whilst they were warming up, which both me and Emma believed would create a nice visual when each band member is talking about their involvment in the band for example.
The performances themselves turned out pretty well, excluding the out of focus shots and a few shots that didn't match with the sound ie. a mid shot of Dan when Mike has a solo part or a close up of Andres's feet, which didn't work as well as I thought it may have when recording. Other than that, the majority of shots filmed worked well in accordance with the audio, especially the use of a 3 shot of the 3 singers, Ricky, Mike and Andres and close ups of Felipe (the drummer)'s hands whilst playing the drums.
I'll keep you posted on how filming the band's rehearsal goes Friday evening :)
