EDL (EDIT DECISION LIST):
LOGGED SHOTS:
To help with the overall editing, the shots are logged to help me differentiate between the usable and unusable footage. It also helped to number the shots so I would know which one to use over the other, if there were numerous clips good enough. In another instance, by labelling the clip 'longrowe', I am able to tell the difference between lengths of clips.
BASIC EDIT 1:
WHAT I WILL CHANGE?
Since the rough edit is simply all my footage compiled in a single strand of video, there are no major cuts and the timeline/duration of the video are unnecessarily longer than my final edit. I plan to cut down the interviews of both Sarah Diver and Professor Rowe, to get the essential information to reflect my agenda. I also aim to edit the audio and sync up the externally recorded audio for the interviews. There is also the need to add fading-in text with names of the interviewees and facts. The final time after all editing, with transitions and effects, will be cut down to the 5 minute mark, with the maximum time being 6 minutes. I have found that by putting all footage together like this, helped me to see that there was plenty of footage to overlay with the talking head interviews, thus the audience wouldn't be watching a boring interview straight through. Instead, they will have suitable visuals to give context to what the interview/documentary is about.
EDIT 2:
This second edit is cut together and close to the final time of my edit. This section gives an insight into what video transitions are being used and how the clips move together. Since the documentary is breaching a sensitive topic, there was no need for extravagant visual effects or transitions. Instead I went for a smooth flow with inserts, interviews and text dissolving into each other. I used cross dissolve at a point where the clock dissolves over to the interview of Sarah Diver. I deemed that the use of cross dissolve was more fitting than a fade to black because there would have been a gap where I wanted it to be smooth. The cross dissolve solves this problem and helps accentuate the theme of time running out. Any other effects I used, included preset colour correction of the introduction to short film or changes to the audio. I wanted to give the natural insert shots at the start a more sombre and warming aesthetic, thus I changed to a preset of Fuji 125 Kodak. If not shown here, I plan to finish off audio in Adobe Audition and lower reverb and noise so that the audio is more suitable and at a level tone that doesn't spike into the red area. At this point, music hasn't been added but there are contenders for a instrumental and copyright free song on YouTube Audio Library.
EDIT 3/ FINAL EDIT:
As shown in these two screenshots, the full film comes to a close at 4:10 minutes, with all audio affects and video and text transitions. The volumes of both dialogue and music have been altered with the pen tool in Premier and effect controls in Audition. I have coordinated the volumes of music to lower when there is talking and raise when there is a fact or insert shots with no talking. It makes sure that people can hear the music and encourages them to feel a specific way, especially during the opening of the film. The music was chosen to reflect the sombre mood of the documentary subject, without being too depressing. It was found on YouTube's audio library which meant that I could use the song without copyright issues.
