Editing

We print screened our computer at numerous times, whilst creating the documentary.  The first one being some of the videos we imported. We did this by selecting file>import. We then chose the videos which we wanted to use, and edited it to our liking.

When filming our interviews, we ensured to obtain the 'rule of thirds'. We did this by aligning the camera, and object up, to the relevant camera spot. By doing this, it created the impression that we, and our project, is professional.

 

As well as the visuals, we also had to focus on the sound levels within our documentary. Throughout it all, we had a sound bed which was changed when voice overs or interviews took place. This added continuity to the documentary, yet still allowed the viewer to hear the other sounds being utilized.

 

After we had imported some of our videos, we had to use the 'Razor' tool to cut down the length of the footage. We did this by selecting the tool, then clicking where was appropriate. From then, we'd delete the relevant footage, and keep the parts which we wanted.

 

On top of our interviews, and at the beginning of the documentary, we used titles to explain to the audience who or what it was. We did this by selecting title>new title>default still. We then typed the title which we wanted, changed the font/size/colour then imported it into our documentary.

 We used transitions throughout, to make the switch between clips, smooth. We did this by using different types to still make it exciting  - however used 'dip to black'  most, to ensure professionalism and continuity
