Documentary Post-Production

 The last and final step for making our documentary was the editing process, and I'm not going to lie...

this is my least favorite part :(

Editing has always been something that I struggle with. It was definitely something I struggled with last year in AS level. I tried using premier pro last year and let's just say I was never able to figure it out... it's just something about all of those buttons that gets me... stressed! Anyway, last year I used Cap Cut to edit all of my projects, so I decided to do the same thing for this project.

Originally, my group and I decided to each edit our own version of the documentary and then pick from there whose we like the most, but as the due date came closer, only my edit seemed to work out. 

I had edited about the first 3 minutes of the documentary and then all of the sudden, my mind when blank! I have no idea what happened, but I just could not think of how to continue the editing process. Thankfully, Adriana came to the rescue, and she continued editing the remainder of it. 

Something that I like within my portion of the editing was the intro. I thought that it was a cute way to introduce the club and begin the documentary!

Something that I wish I included within my portion of the editing was music!! I noticed that when my classmates critiqued my project, a lot of them mentioned how it lacked music (besides the intro) until the end.

With the instructions below, here are some critiques that my classmates gave my documentary regarding the editing specifically! (Some of it is from what I edited & some is from what Adriana edited)

Aneesa Bajaj says, "Instead of introducing music near the end, I would have started it from the beginning and just shifted the tone of the music as the tone of the piece shifted." 

-I completely agree with her!! I feel like music would have elevated the piece as a whole.

Samara Hernandez says, "When using the graphics about the shutdown of this club, I really liked the intention, but I want to see it a bit longer so we can read it fully."

-I agree! It was pretty difficult reading the graphic at the end so I feel like lengthening it just by a few seconds would be perfect!
