The Carlisle Firework show was the first project I've worked on in film that was shown and was made for a company. I enjoyed collaborating with my peers and the Carlisle council to make are edit appear on the big screen.
I learned a lot about the professional environment when working on the show and it was a struggle. We just about made the deadline and we were working daily on the edits getting feedback from the company and then working on it more and so forth and so back.
What I learned the most about doing a professional project is the intensity it can have on you, when the deadline racing up on you and no extensions allowed. But i realised it made the treat of finishing it and seeing it being shown to thousands of people makes it that much sweeter.
I worked as an editor on scene three for the big showing, and it was the first time I also really got into adobe premier pro as an editing software, I had always used Sony Vegas before hand so it was new experience for me, and I enjoyed it.
I also got to work on cameras and filmed some of the shots shown in the final production, which as camerawork has always been more my style, was great to see my shots in the big field. I also helped film the show for Edward Cooper and got to see it almost VIP out in the field instead of with the main crowd.
Overall this was my first true look into professionalism into the field of film I want to walk through, and although stressing, it certainly paid off.
