This week, which is also the last
week before the documentary is due (time flies so quickly!), is to be spent
focusing on editing the video. Here, things we learnt in class comes in handy
and convenient us when editing our videos.
Last week, we learnt about story
boarding where we draw out what we picture a scene to be. Story boarding proves
to be very useful as we can get to explore new ideas and perspectives.
Furthermore, it also saves us a lot of time when editing the video as we
already have a picture of what we want to achieve, thus making us more
organized.
We also used a filming log for our
raw footage. Filming logs are records of what happens during the video, its
duration and whether it is good quality footage or not. These are extremely
useful when editing videos as we can refer to the filming logs to find out when
a person talks about something that we want instead of having to watch the
entire video to find that specific clip
which is very time efficient.
The extra practice we had with
iMovie during classes allowed us to be able to edit our videos using iMovie
with minimal amount of problems (having a group member who is very familiar
with iMovie also helps a whole lot!). During this time, we experimented with
transitions, audio and video editing, adding in B-roll and texts. We also found
out that having background music is unnecessary when the interviewees are
talking as it would only distract the audience.
