Editing of the final footage

Myself, Laura, Sam and Aaron spent a whole day in the editing suites trying to put everything together in order to complete it. We added in the night shots to where we thought it would be appropriate in the story. We also changed a few things according to the advice that Ken and Steve had given us the previous week. There was a few times where we struggled to match the audio with the video as well as add the credits but we soon resolved this by zooming in on the timeline and positioning it precisely as well as rendering it to make the credits work. We also had a problem with one of the tapes because as we found out that after moving onto another computer, the footage that we had inserted into the timeline had said ‘media offline’ which gave the group a scare but we sorted this out by going onto another computer and re-capturing the tape. The editing was a very long process and it truly made you appreciate the work that film editors have to put in.

Below is the final documentary that we will be showing to the lecturers tomorrow to gain feedback on any improvements that we may have to carry out:
