Me and Faraz were left to do the editing whilst the other two group member did other things. Unfortunately I'm not to good with technology so big parts of editing was left to Faraz, i tried to help as much as i could with things to do with music trimming an transitions. I also helped to keep the quality the same throughout the documentary.
We first had to change the brightness and contrast of the footage we had recorded, this was due to the quality being distorted bluetoothing footage from laptop to mac. We tried just editing the distorted footage, however this was noticeable against none edited parts. So we decided to change all the footage's brightness so there would be no footage that stood out. We tried to keep each bit of footage the same contrast and brightness, i think we got there in the end. Even if it did take a while!
The next thing that we wanted to edit was the archive footage we tried getting off youtube, unfortunately we weren't able to do this due to copyright laws. So instead we used still images of music videos instead of the music and video. We had to edit these pictures so that they fit with the voice over perfectly. We had to edit the music by trimming it, changing the parts around, shortening it and making it fade out at the end of the image sequence. This in all took at least two weeks to complete as each image had to be cropped and just as we thought we had finished one image wasn't timed correctly, so consequently we had to start the process again as the images finished before the music.
We have edited the beginning of the documentary in the jump cut style. We both thought that this style would suit our documentary best as this techniques gives a mysterious feel to documentaries when being watched. I believe that the jump cut technique has added extra mystery to our documentary as you Dont see Faraz walk towards the camera but you dont see him walk down the steps he just appears infront of the camera to give insite of the documentary.
