Editing the documentary

Industrial BitesThe food wars

The first thing we did when editing our documentary on Premier Pro, was importing our videos. We did this by right clicking and selecting import which took us to our documents, we located the A-Drive and selected the clips we wanted.

Using the mark in and mark out buttons to select the part of the clip we wanted, this made it easier to select parts of the footage.

After importing editing the clips we needed, we dragged and drop the clip i was using first to the top left hand box. The first clip was archive footage of adverts to use as our title sequence.

The first part of our documentary is the title sequence, we created this from short clips of food adverts. We also over lapped them all to create an overwhelming sense as you are being surrounded by adverts

Once we had imported an interview clip and selected the section we wanted. It then needed to be fitted to the screen, i right clicked a stretched it out.

When we had the interviews in the order we wanted we then had to add vox pops to the clip so then people would know who the person is. This was done by right clicking the right hand box, this then let you edit what can been seen on screen.

Adding cutaways into interviews was another part of editing the editing. We had certain cutaways that could reinforce what was mentioned in the interview. We used effects such as a fade to make it fit and overall the interview but with the voiceover of the interview still playing.

When listening to the documentary some of the sound levels , were unbalanced so we had to change it to fill right with left as it was quite within the right side as well as linking them.

We added various archive footage in our documentary, such as the title sequence to an M&S advert to a clip from a section from supersize me. By adding in archive footage it helps to support the documentary, we imported it the same way we did with our other clips.

I added effects on the audio and video. We done this by clicking effects then audio or video transitions. We used an Exponential fade for audio and a cross dissolve for video these two made the clip then fit well and look natural.
