Editing: The Beginning and VoxPop

We began editing this week. We have captured all of our work, and at the moment we do not think that there is anything else to film as of yet. We have realised that we will not be able to complete our editing just using lesson time, so as a result I have and will continue to take time out of my free periods, lunchtimes and breaktimes to do some small bits of editing. Hopefully my other group members will do so as well.



Following the edit decision list is helping a lot because the editing seems quicker when we can go straight to a section, using the cursor. This screenshot shows us skipping through stockfootage to find the motorway shots.







Unlinking audio and video lets us delete the sound of the shot so music can be used. We will wait until the final stages of filming to alter the sound levels in the interviews and VoxPop.






Using our mindmap from our planning, we have downloaded numerous sounds and sound effects for our opening sequence. This screenshot shows me importing a song.




We want to mess round with the transitions to see which ones suit the documentary and don't look unprofessional. We want to dissolve a clip of the gearstick with the title of the documentary as well as fading to a black background. These effects can be seen in this screenshot.




This is our editing page so far, with the VoxPop together, parts of stockfootage and the end of the title sequence. We need to tidy this up and then move on to the next 2 and half minutes of the documentary.
