Documentary Unit: Script 3

After speaking to Helen (tutor) and showing her our sync cut of the film she agreed that we did need a narrator to our film. Initially we planned to use Roy but after speaking to the group we felt that it may be slightly weird to have him narrating and interviewed. We then decided to see if it would work without a narrator at all. We agreed to use myself as a example narration until we decide on a official person. Based on this feedback we also came up with a better version of a set up for our script.

Here is the new Script reflecting this change:

Documentary Unit: Music

After a chat with Chris he decided it would be easier for him to go away and look and source music for the edit. With the option of using our composer anyway this was the most practical way of working. It meant that Chris could edit to music at the same time rather than waiting for a piece of music that may not work.

Documentary Unit: Editing Workshop with John Ramsden

Today we had an editing workshop with John Ramsden. We learnt more about the sync edit and rough cut edit today which as a producer in the project helped me to understand what we needed more. We then were tasked with editing a interview with the help of a transcript and taking out all the um's and stutters. I was very pleased with myself because i don't enjoy editing as i feel i am no good and take a long time. However i really learnt a lot today and am very glad we had the opportunity to learn from John. I would never have thought about editing out the pauses and um's and stutters as i wouldn't have really noticed them before. I am now pleased that i can offer Chris some assistance when he is editing and help to pin point any parts of a interview that need to be reedited. I am also pleased that John and Helen both gave me a lot of feedback on my edit and helped me to improve on it further by using a technique called sound mixing. I even learnt the short cut on the mac so it will definitely come in handy in the future.

Here is my edit i made during the lesson:



I am very pleased with this work and although it still isn't perfect for a first attempt at anything like this i am over the moon

Documentary Unit: Filming Day 4 Reflection

Today myself and Hayley went down to the centre to put the go pro on a dog. The shoot was very good and the footage was much more stable and usable now we had secured the go pro as best we could. I also decided to see if we could get a dog to either carry a clapper board or sit next to one for a potential idea for our trailer. As we didn't need much shots today we only were at the centre for an hour and got all the shots we needed. Now i will meet with Chris and Danny and go through the edit chris has started work on and see if we need to go on one last shoot for any pick ups.

stay safe,

helen.
