Editing

In terms of editing I have been involved through helping firstly with the opening montage, this involved using firstly just simply cutting the clips to equal length and using straight cut between clips, later on when watching this back a few times we found that it was not visually interesting so decided to use a transition instead.



The second piece of footage we edited was the opening title again this changed through the editing process, firstly we again cut clips of equal length using a straight cut between clips but watching it back we noticed that the lighting changed suddenly between clips and the body moved. I tried to remove this problem by firstly making the clips shorter and then putting them in slow motion to make the body seem to move less, but through doing this the lighting problem still remained so we decided to re-film this sequence. Once we had done this, we again edited it using simple cuts between the clips but through learning through my mistake in the first edit I decided to make the clips shorter and slow them down as to make the overall look less jolty.



Next I edited the interview with Josh Gilroy, this involved using cross dissolve on the cutaways to give them a smooth entrance and exit also I changed the sound levels as to stop some of the sound seeming to enter suddenly. I edited this so as the answers would make sense without the audience hearing the question, I found doing this the most challenging part and some answers had to be edited out as they could not be understood alone.



The voxpop was the next footage which needed to be edited, some of the clips when watching them back were inaudible so they were removed. The clips we could use were edited again using cuts as to not distract the audience, we also left three gaps between certain parts of the voxpop as we had shown people three different images and we were going to include these later.



Next we added in these images for the voxpop, these were made to lengths that I thought would give enough time for the voice over to introduce them which at first was just a guess as the script had not at this stage been written but later on we made them the correct length. Again I used simple cuts between clips.
