Editing

I have been involved in the whole of the editing of our final product process and recieved advice from chloe and letting her have a go at it to see what she thought.

To start off with as a group we took it in turns to capture the footage and cut up the clips we wanted using the razor tool, which we used also, to cut the questions out of the interviews.
We then arranged the footage along the time line and used cutaways to link to relevant subject matter or to cover up jump cuts and were the interviewees look at the camera rather than the interviewer.
We then took on individual roles so that we could finish the product and also produce a print advert and radio trailer. I took on the role of editor, while Chloe produced the radio trailer and Chelsea produced the print advert with Chloe’s help.
Chloe also imported the voiceover which she recorded and produced for the documentary and arranged it along the time line bringing it all together.


Here are some print screens of the editing process:

The thumbnail above is a cutaway of the word 'vintage' in our documentary.

This thumbnail is from the interview with Lisa Smedley who wears a lot of vintage charity clothes.

This is a thumbnail of Neil Cooper, a local fashion designer.

This thumbnail is of the backing track, ('Filthy Gorgeous' by The Scissor Sisters) to our opening credits.

Below, shows halfway thorugh editing the editing process. After cutting down on questions, interviews, cutaways and what we want and it is still 8 minutes long which is too long for what it has to be which is approx 5 minutes long all together. Things that we have chosen to edit down are; the voxpop, length of interview and the montage at the beginning.
