CJ, Egemen, Ethan
(Although Alex wasn't with us while we were actually writing this Retrospective, he was with us when we met as a group during class earlier in the day, so he was still a part of our discussion about where things currently stand)
* what worked well
* Working scaffolding
* Communication between frontend and backend (files can be uploaded to S3 bucket from frontend)
* Auto-transcription
* figma prototype
* what didn't
* haven't nailed down design choices for website layout
* file uploading works in that the files reach the bucket, but an error occurs in reading the response which needs to be addressed
* Struggled to find time to meet together, but this will be better in future weeks
* self assessment on progress
* Good technial progress.
* We were slightly late on finishing this Retro because we had trouble finding time to meet, but we still feel happy with where we are at
* lay out *each* of the following weeks till end of term with brief goals for each
* current week:
* Sliding window for analyzing sentiment of each portion of a video
* Improve on our prototype and overall design
* Fix bugs relating to selecting and uploading files when running the application
* week 7: goals
* Use sentinment analysis to get timestamps for interesting clips
* use these timestamps to partition long video into shorts
* Enforcing file type uploads for frontend and backend
* week 8: goals, etc
* continue working on goals from week 7
* briefly summarize any other topics/discussions
* We think we want to improve our design/prototype by making it easier to visualize and organize all of the shorts that have been created by the user. We plan to provide two ways of visualizing/sorting the shorts: 1) under the long-form video they come from, and 2) by their status (under review / unscheduled, scheduled, and published).
