Editing process

Whilst editing, I had to be shown what to as I didn't know how to use the soft ware. When I knew what I was doing, I focused on the 2nd video type. I edited the Sadie Harding interview, in which I filmed as well. Within this process I learned new skills as before this I didn't know how to edit. I learned how to use Premeire software. As Sadie didn't speak very load on her interview, I had to be shown by Sasha how to change the sound levels, in which I did for the rest of the interview. I also cut the questions beginning asked out and imported cutaway shots. Whilst doing this I took screen grabs, which are shown below.
A lot of time and effort was put in to this process as it was time consuming. However is was a good experince overall which benefitted our documentary and gave me new skills which can be used in the future.When the whole documentary was put together we did a final check in which we all gave notes on what we thought could be done to improve the quality. After we gave feedback we decided on what changes need to be done. This helped us hear and give imput on eachother views.
These are cutaways shots of the process in which I edited.

This is part of the interview with Mr Swindell, I had to edit the questions being asked out so you can only hear him answering.
After I had cut away all of the qestion I had to make sure that the footage didn't jump so I had to add cutaways which makes the doucmentary flow. I Had to make sure that the cutaways I used was appropriate to the answer in which he gave.


This is the editing process of Sadie Harding's interview.

Within in this process I had to make sure that all her interview made sense. I had to add cutaways to bits in which the framining jumped.

I also had to make sure that the sound volumes were turned up as Sadie didn't project her voice, I was unsure how to do this so therefore Sasha had to show me how to do this.


Whilst editing I had to make sure that Sadie's interview was in sync as it would have destracted the audience as they would be looking at her mouth.

Filming process

Whilst filming our documentary we again a lot of experience and was put in different situations. As a group we had to plan our time effectively to be certain that we would be able to film as a group. The days in which we planned to film on, we ensured that we had planned the days' events as we wanted to be sure are time was sure productively and not wasted. As a group we decided that mornings would be more suitable to have interviews with shops but before we did this we ensured that we had permission off the store manager and arrived early to make sure that we didn't interrupt the rush hours. After recording our interviews and cutaway shots in the morning, we would then start our vox pops as it was more busier and we would get a better response. Within the filming process I felt more comfortable asking the public to do vox pops therefore I asked the majority
of the people who we targeted.
As a group we all took it in turns to do there share of work. I asked for the vox pop's while Natalie filmed them and Sasha told them what to say. I also arranged and interviewed Sadie on my own; in which I had to impervised with mise-en-scene with shoes displayed on a bed frame. Furthermore I asked a few shops wether it was ok, to film in their shop.
While filming we didn't have the equiement in which professionals would uses so therefore we had to impervise. With this we had to create a tracking establishing shot, in which we used the escalators and we also had to drive a car. This allowed use to think logical in quick amounts of time. Overall I think that the filming process was fun as we experinced it as a group in which we have become close.
These are pictures of us filming.

logging sheet








These are our type log sheets which was done servial times, to make sure they was accurate. This was helpful becuase when it came to editing it was easier to find the footage in which we was planning on using for our documentary.

Mise-en-scene of interviews

Before we went to film our interviews, we planned out what the mise-en-scene was before hand so we was then prepared and knew what we was doing before we went into the shop. When it came to filming, the interviews ran more smoothly unlike if we had to imperivse.
