When editing our documentary we went through various phases of cutting clips, deciding which clips we should use, where each clip should go and what times the clips should be matched on action. These are some print screens of how we edited our documentary and the different steps that we made during the editing.
This is a print screen of our group editing the focus group that we had filmed at an earlier date. When we filmed the focus group we filmed it in one shot. This meant that we had to cut the focus group at different times to allow for other clips like interviews and montages to fit in with the documentary and have a continuing flow.
As you can see in the image above that the same clip, of the focus group, has been cut and placed into the documentary. This was done because some parts of the focus group were not as important so they had to be cut out. We all took turns to decide on which parts of the clip the most important dialogues were and then we all contributed to trying to edit using continuity editing techniques to improve the flow of the cut focus group film.
This is another image of how we edited the different clips in our documentary. This is the clip of the interview that we conducted with our gaming expert. We had to edit this clip to do things like add titles to make it possible for the viewers to be aware of whom the expert is. Similar to the focus group we also had to cut some parts of the interview out and use the most important parts to make the documentary more relevant to our subject.
As you can see in the image above that we had to add a screen title to the clip to show the experts name and what kind of an expert the person is. We each decided that we would take different roles in the editing process like one person in the group would import all the different clips that were needed to create the documentary, another person would cut all the videos and only leave the important parts of the clips, another person would create all the titles and subtitles and the final person would be responsible for matching all the clips together and ensuring continuity. This allowed the group to edit the film professionally and efficiently as we all knew exactly we were supposed to do.
This is an image of the documentary after there were some improvements that were suggested to us by certain colleagues watched the start of the documentary. The improvement was that we should have a montage of images for the start of the documentary to give viewers a brief overview as to what the documentary will contain. To do this we had to find images that were suitable for our documentary and then import them into the editing software. We then also added a few video clips from violent movies that would also be used in the montage that would be a part of the exposition and opening scene.
As it is possible to see in the image above that we imported many pictures and movie scenes that were relevant to our documentary topic. For the different images that we had to use we all contributed to the choosing of certain images that we would use in the exposition for our montage. We then also decided on the order of the images to allow for the satisfaction of all the participants of the group. Along with the images we also had a part in choosing the different movie scenes that would be used in the exposition and montage.
Through out the process of editing we all made sure that all the participants of the group were satisfied and were giving there own opinions to the different things that were being edited in the documentary. This shows that we all contributed to the editing of our documentary.
