Week 11

Editing 

This week we started the editing.


Once we'd watched all the footage, we created a paper edit. 


Each interviewee was named differently, in order to differentiate and make it easier for us. 

We then created a project and started editing the interviews, using the razor tool and cutting out all the questions so that it was just the answer. 



Once we had cut each interview, we sectioned them off in order of the answers. This gave us a rough cut of the interviews.

We then started piecing the film together and using certain lines/phrases and creating the pace of the film.


Once we had all the interview answers in place, we started adding in B roll, using it to describe what the interviewees were talking about but alsoa t points contradicting.

For example we had the interviewees talking about how the new accommodation that was replacing East Slope was more expensive, which didn't make sense as it could restrict people from coming to this university, over this we had shots of the construction site, danger warning signs followed by signs that read 'community'. 

Once we had that in place, we added in music. This really moved along the pace of the film. The song we used we felt fit in with the theme, as it was a song from the 80's and created a sense of nostalgia. 

This was another film we watched in a previous workshop. Although I personally did not really like the film, after watching the footage we got I thought similar to in this film, we could use some quite abrupt and brusque edits between the interviews.
