Editing Our Footage 31st March

After we collected all the footage we needed that included interviews, cutaways and camera shots the next stage of the production process was the delivery of the project as we had to log and capture the footage we had taken and then the real challenge, to filter through the interviews shots we thought would interesting and engaging and try to fit it into a 5-8 minute documentary. This process was difficult as there was a certain way to log and capture the piece it had to be on the right setting and the same setting as the camera.

Me and Mandy started off by watching the interview with Anna and try to pick out lines that could be used as either an introduction or an ending to the documentary. I felt that this was a long process as each sentence had to be taken into consideration as we had to filter through the best bits as the interview was over two hours long. switching the data from different computers was challenging as we had to find different ways of doing it for example transferring files using the drop box folder and make sure each project was saved.

This was a good learning experience as it gave us an insight into the length of time it takes to deliver a film or a documentary as you have time to consider, for example how many cutaways to have in the space of time you have got and where best to add the cutaways but also adding sub clips and where to bring them in..
