Editing Diary
- 1. Editing Diary November 20th- 21st 2013 – Appitized Interview We spent two lessons editing the Appitized Interview. This included altering the levels to make the lighting brighter. We altered the shot size, to make it more suitable for the interview and began to shorten pieces we didn’t need, cutting out mistakes, problems, and parts of the employees response that we did not want in our documentary. December 2nd- Intro Sequence We spent an hour putting together cut-aways to begin an introduction sequence, this involved shortening clips, splitting clips and muting them to reduce any background noise we wouldn’t need. December 9th – 10th- Appitized Interview One of us inserted screen caps and interviews into the Appitized interview to split it up and allow it to flow and then began to add more cutaways to the montage after the introduction sequence. December 11th– 12th– Introduction Sequence One member of the group started to create an introduction sequence for the documentary which involved selecting parts from our interviews and cutting and placing them to make a montage. December 13th – Introduction Sequence Cont. All members of the group continued with the introduction sequence, placing the different clips in the right positions and ensuring that the sequence flowed. We then placed a TV interference effect at the end of the sequence with sound effects. December 16th – 20th – Interviews The whole group spent this week cutting down and inserting our interviews so we had a general body for the documentary. We altered the appearance of the footage using the levels tools within Premiere so that they looked more appealing. January 6th – Vox Pops We spent a lesson cutting down and inserting thevox pops into our documentary. The sound on some of our footage was distorted slightly because of the wind levels so we used the Fill Left tool to quieten it. This meant that the audio from the clip mic was no longer being overpowered by the sounds in the area. January 7th – 8th – Cutaways We continued to add some more cutaway shots to the documentary so that the jumps between interview clips are not shown. Doing this means that overall, the documentary flows a lot more. January 10th – Sound Today we began to add sound to our documentary. We have chosen songs, which we have placed in the background of the documentary, that have strong drum beats which will help to keep everything upbeat. We cut down the sound clips to the parts that we wanted to use and placed them in the ideal spots. January 13th – 15th – Title Sequence This week we began work on our title sequence. We began to cut down the clips that we wished to use and placed them after our introduction.
