Editing

We have editted our documentary in Adobe Premiere, an editing software which has allowed us to precisely control shots, to make our documentary as professional as possible. Here are screenshots of the editing process.

Making sure that the interviews linked together was extremely important. If 2 clips were completely next to each other, the sound quality would be reduced and the documentary would sound poor, so even fractions of a second different improved the quality massively.

The video transitions and effect were not using that often, due to them making the documentary look over stylised, however additive and cross dissolves were important especially with the graphics fading in and out on the screen.

In some parts of our documentary we needed to use archive footage. This was cut out once again using the brackets and the stepping tool. Even though we didn't film this archive material, it was extremely useful to link sections together.
