there was a misunderstanding between both teams and tutors, we were under the general understanding that we would line up the dialogue tracks ourselves and then give them to the media team to start their editing, but it turns out that it is the media teams job to line up the dialogue to the picture themselves, then give us picture lock to edit to with .aaf or .omf file types so we could clean up the dialogue tracks retrospectively.
At first this was unclear to us so we started to line up the audio and then give the shots to the media team, but then we found out that it was the media team’s job to sync the dialogue while they were making the picture edit. This became clear after a meeting with the Media tutor who explained that it should be the media teams job because they are the ones that are picking which scenes they are using, it is just our job to make it work afterwards.
