editing process

1. The editing process

2. All the footage in the rough cut added to 8
minutes. Because of the targeted 5 minute
mark we had to cut lots of the footage
using the cut and blade tools.
In the opening we wanted the opening to be darker and the colours
more harsh. This meant we added a crisp-contrast effect which made
the lighting darker but colours were still not harsh enough. Therefore I
went on to the footage enhancements and heightened the contrast.
This also meant our title was more clearly seen.
We detached the audio on all of the footage. This was so that we
could edit the audio itself and move it to where we wanted it.
Moreover separating the audio meant that we could enhance it –
heightening the volume, reducing the background noise and
reducing the HUV.
For the very first 5
seconds or so of the
documentary the beat
of the music is
different. We chose to
then apply footage of
barbed wire in
changed it to black and
white effects. We then
added a static affect
during the beat for
stylized effect.
For some of the footage of the graffiti in
Shoreditch, there were rude/offensive language
written. Therefore we used the blur tool to try and
cover it up so no offense was caused

3. Much of the footage that would cut into the
next segment of the documentary was too
harsh. Therefore we chose to had a cross-
dissolve transition between many of the cuts to
create more flow.
For the black background, we
simply utilized the deleted footage
and cut to around 5 seconds and
overlaid a title for all of the
questions.
Some of the footage including this clip at the beginning we
chose to add a black and white effect. This was applied as it we
didn’t the high contrast colours to be so harsh. Also it was to
disconnect that footage from the opening footage that included
the montage of the graffiti artist.
The music we wanted had to be able to reduce and
heighten its volume according to the footage it was
overlaying. We used the small arrow tool at the
start and end of each music segment so that the
volume levels would flow.
For the titles we
wanted to have the
same font throughout
when establishing the
name of the location,
hashtags and the
questions however we
wanted a graffiti styled
font for the
interviewee. This was
downloaded for free
from the internet. We
chose the basic lower
third title as it was
conveniently placed in
the corner
