The document provides details about the editing process for a documentary. Some key steps described include: 1) Cutting down vox pops and placing them at the beginning of the timeline by using bracket tools to select clips and drag them onto the timeline. 2) Editing cutaways under 2 seconds by cutting each clip and dragging them onto the timeline with cross dissolve effects. 3) Adding appropriate cutaways by going through over 80 clips and placing them on the timeline. 4) Creating graphs showing the popularity of milk types to include key audience research in a visual way. 5) Adding cutaways between questions in interviews and muting the audio from cutaways.

2. Firstly, we cut down our vox pops and placed them at the beginning of the timeline. Using the screen
on the left we watched our full filmed footage and used the bracket tools to cut out the question and
the clip that we wanted. We then dragged the selected clip down onto the time line and pressed play
and watched it on the right hand side of the screen. This was easy to do but sometimes really fine
editing had to be done so that we could correctly edit the question out.

3. To edit our cut aways we had to cut down each one to less than 2 seconds so that when we had
them all one after each other it did not last more than ten seconds. We again had to use the
bracket tools to cut each clip down to a maximum of 1 second and then drag it onto the timeline
one after another. When they were all on the timeline we then added an effect so that they ran
smoothly into one another. We chose cross dissolve and we simply clicked the word on the left
hand side and dragged the box over the clip on the timeline.

4. In order to add our cut aways we had to watch all 80+ and pick which ones where the most suitable and
looked like appropriate filming and were not shaken or too short/long. We then added them to the
timeline all in order after the milks with the cross dissolve effect. On this image you can also see the
cross dissolve effect over the clips of the milk.

5. Before we even began our documentary we had to complete target audience research. As a result of this we found that semi skimmed
was the most popular milk type. This is key information that we could include in our documentary, but we did not just want it to be
mentioned on the voice over, we wanted to show off our publisher skills. To do this we decided to create a graph which would show
clearly that semi skimmed was the most popular over the other two most popular; whole and skimmed milk. We then made the graph go
from low to high by adding a new title of the graph being higher as it got further into the documentary. To do this we had to create a title.
We then had to create the graph axis with straight lines and the graphs with boxes which where then filled in with colour. In order to
create the growing effect of the graphs we had to make separate titles that grew higher each time that would be put on top of each other
and a cross dissolve effect would be edited on.

6. When our interview was cut down and added on to the timeline, we then had to add cut
aways which related to the interview that we could put between each cut of question and
any time that the interviewee looked at the camera or that the camera zoomed in and
changed shot. We placed these images or videos above the interview and took off the
sound using the mute button at the left hand side of the timeline, so that it was still there
but we could hear the interview over the cut away.

7. We then had to edit our interview with the nurse from NHS clatterbridge hospital. We used the same
technique of bracket tool and cutting the sections to drag onto the timeline. We then realised that some of her
answers were irrelevant and that we did not need them. Instead of deleting and using bracket tool to re cut
them, we cut them while they where on the timeline using the razor tool. This split the section we cut from
the sections that we needed before we decided to add cutaways.

8. We then recorded another interview with a dinner lady from our school about free school milk that they give to
children who are on free dinners. We had to zoom in to her interview as it was framed too far away. We did this by
using the drop down arrow and then changing it to make it small and double clicking on the video and zooming in
by dragging the corners to make it bigger. We then had to move the NHS interview back so we highlighted the
whole interview and moved it further down the timeline to create room for this smaller interview.
