Screenshots of iMovie progress of our Documentary

BY EVE KERRIGAN

This screenshot shows the opening slide and transition of our documentary so far. As you can see we have chosen to leave the screen black to coincide with the dark and morbid theme of the crime documentary. We are planning to use a type writer effect as a transition for the text as we have seen this in already existing documentaries and feel it is a professional effect that will enhance our final documentary and make it a lot more realistic.

This screenshot shows some of the progress on our timeline throughout creating our documentary. As you can see we used the green screen to create the studio effect and we did this by placing the image of the studio underneath of the video using the green screen.

Here you can see how we used the blur transition to hide the identity of our anonymous witness. This is a typical convention used in documentaries as it is common to want to hide the identity of a witness. We achieved this blurred effect by laying the blur transition on top of one another to create the final blurred effect.

This screenshot shows how we added a sound effect to the witness account so that it added to the tension and distressing theme of the account.

This screenshot shows the Police interview we added to our documentary. In the end we needed to re-shoot this particular clip so that the lighting, positioning and script looked and sounded more professional and realistic.

Here you can see part of the reconstruction when Westgate actually attacks Maisy and steals her car.

This screenshot shows the final studio that we decided to use. Throughout the process of creating the documentary we used a number of different images until we found the most realistic and professions studio background.

This screenshot shows how we had to split a few of our clips in order to shows the image of the criminal who attacked Maisy. We detached the audio of our presented and deleted the video and added the image along with the audio so their voices are talking about him while he is shown on screen.

This screenshot shows the end of our documentary where we have included an end credits transition. To this we added a sound effect from iMovie of a new broadcast. We felt that this added to the realistic effect and fitting the ‘Crimewatch’ theme of the documentary. In addition to this, we used the audio sound effect from iMovie and edited it using the app ‘Garage Band’. This allowed us to add in our own unique touch of ‘Coventry Crackdown’ to the theme tune making it our own original tune for our documentary.

Finally, this shows the final transition of our documentary when we use a transition to show our institution name ‘JME Productions’ along with a typical sound effect commonly used in existing documentaries. We felt this gave our documentary a really profession a realistic theme.
