dfsa documentry - editing

editing 

we had all the shots done at this point and were ready to edit. 

on monday we looked at all the shots we had and it was up to umor, chloe and luke to organise the clips and give them names so we could do the editing easier later. 

whist they did this it was my job to do the transcript for the interview. 13 double pages. 

this took the whole day of monday. i also looked over the naming of the files to make sure the fitted together. 

on tuesday i started to work on the script for the draw my life part. we thought it was the best idea to start this so we could get the pacing of the film. whilst we did this chloe looked for a song whilst umor looked into editing the gopro fotage to my prefernces. 

i did a first edit of the go pro fotage to show umor the way it should look. 

the whist he did that i worked on the script for the draw my life. i looked through the transcript and changed into first person and added bit of personality to it. 

on wednesday i work on the shot list for the draw my life with luke 

I looked through script and wrote the type of shots i wanted and practiced with luke. 

these are the final ideas for shots we can do. i researched into the techniques of draw my life and was ready to do it the next day.

also this day i did the paper edit. 

on thursday we did the draw my life part of the film. 

we set up the shot and set the lighting using my dslr and led light. 

we then went through each shot and did the draw my life for it. pictures of the set up was taken by chloe. the me luke went through each shot. it went pretty well. 

on friday i wrote the script for the voice over for the walk. i also found our voice actress. 

this was two 4 page documents. it took all day. as i did it i help umor with the prelimary edit of the draw my life and other parts. 

on saturday we did the voice over for the documentry. me and umor met up with lainey and set up my dslr with shotgun mic. this went well. we made sure she was comfrtable and had a good idea of the snynopsis. 

we the listened through the parts and started organising the edit. 

on sunday we edited the voice over and started cliping it to visuals for the draw my life. by the end we had all the draw my life clip to each voice. 

sunday night i went through the second part of voice over making each voice clip seperate and the best take. i then organised the visuals for the walk part of the doucmentry and running part. 

on monday. I put the sound togther with the visuals i did. this took a while but ended up going well. i then gave it to umor to do the sort out the draw my life. i then put the race scene togther i did and did a bit of tweecking and sorted out levels. then umor took over the racing bit under my direction to get it right. whilst he did that i found and downloaded the soundeffects and put them togehter to create the sound scape. 

then we put it all together a i smoothed it out and made sure it all fitted. this involved cutting bits i didnt like. 

then we made the music go over the top. 

and finally added the colour correction adjustment layer. 

finally we exported it. 

(i'm not able to open the file on my laptop so I can't show the edit right now. but it should be able to be seen on umor blog for now i hope)
