In todays practical we went through what we had gone through in previous weks just to recap and refresh peoples minds. We were all individually asked to do a task using AVID in preparation for future projects in which we will be using the system. I was asked to mark in and out a section of the film in order to splice it out and replace the gap provided with other piece of footage. In order to fully learn about AVID you would porbaly need to spend a day or day at it just to familarise yourself with the different functions and icons.
