Task 1.

This video is for a client called Life First. Mark Penny, the directory of the company featured on an australian TV show with a famous Australian Actor Jack Thompson and they are wanting for that video to be edited together so it can be played on facebook and YouTube to promote them as a business. So below are the timecodes of the parts that feature Mark and the actor.

The first lot of time codes include a bit more video to try and give context but might make it too long. If you think that might be the case you could go for just the second lot of time codes. We leave this up to you.

First timecodes:
.12 - 1.33 - Intro with Simon Baker
1.49 - 2.10 - Jack on Dialysis
3.36 - 3.56 - St Vincents
4.19 - 5.16 - Hospital Mark Penny (life First Director)
5.38 - 5.59 - Mark and dialysis
7.16 - 7.25 - son talking about making the movie with illness
28.55 - 28.59 - Fortunate to be alive


If two long or context doesn’t add to communicating the story then go with these lot of timecodes:

3.36 - 3.56 - St Vincents
4.19 - 5.16 - Hospital Mark Penny (life First Director)
5.38 - 5.59 - Mark and dialysis
**** Maybe need something in the middle here?
28.55 - 28.59 - Fortunate to be alive
