• Before I made my final edit, where I added in all the graphics and such, I
made an initial edit which consisted of just the raw footage straight from
the camera. As it was such a large file (approximately 1hr 45mins) I
needed to remove any parts where I stuttered or messed up a line before I
could even think of adding graphics to the edit. I started by lowering the
resolution of the video so it was easier to work with and wouldn’t over-
stress my PC, I then imported the files into premier pro and trimming out
any unnecessary parts or stuttered/incomplete speech. To keep track of
which part of the script I was editing, I used the markers along the timeline
and labelled them by giving them sub-headings, I also used an alternating
colour scheme of red and white to make them look more separated from
each other. When editing, I encountered no problems other than physical
exhaustion once again. When I finished the initial edit, I rendered and
exported it and created a new project in premiere pro, this would be my
final edit of my documentary.

• The second edit took about a week of on and off editing to
complete, I started by importing the initial edit into premier pro. I
inserted my new and improved intro into the video by using the
same method of creating it in a different project and exporting it
into the final edit. For most of the graphics I used a third-party
extension called ‘Mister Horse’ which gave me access to a
collection of ready-made and easy to use graphics that I could
use for my video transitions, It also gave me a selection of sound
effects to use, which I added into my video in great numbers. For
a few of the inserted clips (the Gus Poyet interview for example)
I used some of the other ‘Mister Horse’ transitions, such as the
‘fade to black’ ‘light leak’ and ‘zoom in/out’ I found that these did
a good job at masking the cut between my video and the
inserted clip, it also seemed to add a level of production quality.

• The first graphic was a transition screen wipe from the bottom left corner to
the top right, initially the graphic was orange and red, but I changed it to red
and white to match the Sunderland theme. The second type of graphic was
the title graphics that I used between the seasons, I made this graphic myself
by taking a video from YouTube by screen recording it, then I blurred it using
the premiere pro ‘blur and sharpen’ tool which made the text on screen stand
out. The fort I used for the text was bold and all caps, a font which I deemed
to be fitting of the theme; I used white text with a thin black stroke and made
it medium size text. For the pop-up graphics that I used in the middle of the
long monologues, I used the ‘Mister Horse’ SFX to punctuate their
appearance on screen, I think this had a great effect and made it seem less
jarring than if it were to just pop up unnaturally. I sourced all the photos that I
used from google, I saved them into a file and imported them directly into
premiere pro and I never experienced an issue using this method. I used the
same method for the graphics that fade in and out of the video, except I used
the default premiere pro transition rather than the sound effect as I wanted to
introduce them more gradually inro the frame rather than popping in and out.

• When I was finished with my edit, I once again rendered and exported my work
and attempted to upload it to YouTube. I encountered no problems in the
rendering and exporting stage as I was able to get both done without issue
(despite it taking over an hour) however, when I uploaded my video to YouTube,
I found that it had been copywrite stricken by the EFL and Sky sports YouTube
accounts alongside others undoubtedly. Besides changing my whole
documentary, I haven't yet found a solution to this problem, I tried adding a
watermark in bottom right of the video, but this didn’t work so I am planning on
uploading it to a different platform which I have yet to decide on.
