Fine tuning edit.

Today i went through my edit cleaned up some of the interviews cutting down the silence then adding in my voice over clips that Lizzie kindly provided us with the voice over was used to explain certain parts of the documentary for example when the paramedics came, i also replaced my voice asking the questions with Lizzie's just so the flow of the video was better instead of different voices.

The interviews with Kaylash Panday and Orlagh Higgins could of been done better there is a shot where the tripod was moved so in the middle of the interview the camera moves i wasn't aware this had happened until i came back to look at the footage once the camera had been handed back also the shots where very shaky i am unsure why they are like this.

Kaylash and Orlagh interview. 









We also have some sound issues background noise, also i misplaced Kaylash's mic so every time Kaylash moved her hand it would be picked up on the mic this was my fault and in further i will make sure where i place the mic will be in a better place, there is also sounds being picked up of scott coughing slightly we need to re-think where the camera person and how close to the camera they are.

A nice simple intro to match the
calm and simple style we want
from this video. 










The reason for the the colours for the intro is so that it creates a nice calm feel to my audience and they will pay a lot more attention to what my documentary is saying, through out the documentary its a calm feel until we get to the part where Kathy is taken to hospital I've used music that picks up the tempo and creates a tense and uneasy atmosphere.

The things i need to improve on by keep trying them is the white balanced i found it very difficult trying to make my lighting outside look less blue so when i come to edit i don't have to colour correct my videos and i will save myself time, also i need to keep working on improving my sound skills and directors skills i found my subject could easily convince me not to film when really i should of all these i will keep working on to improve myself for my next project.


Bad white balance
thats why my image have a blue
tint to it.
