Although we had some restrictions and had to adjust our idea, over all I think the final 4 minute documentary turned out satisfactory. Instead of it being a poetic piece, we took on the interactive mode of documentary. We found this was the most convincing and affective, as the conversation ran smoothly and the interviewees were at ease and more comfortable.
Editing the sound appeared challenging, as the levels of each interview were different. However we added in some atmospheric sound and managed to bring some of the clips sound higher and bring the others lower.
We used the B roll to both highlight and contrast what the interviewees said. For example in one interview, she mentions that as she arrived everything was broken, as she lists the objects - light/tap we matched it up with shots of a flickering light and the sink. When the film goes into critiquing the new accommodation we used b roll of the construction warning sign followed by signs that read community over the interviewees talking about how if it wasn't for the cheaper accommodation they wouldn't have been able to attend the uni and how they feel there will be a lack of community.
