Editing- Production diary.

June 14, 2023

Introduction section. The introduction is made up of clips from old rough cuts of skate videos i discovered on YouTube. I edited these together for the introduction along with the music and the voiceover. For the music in the introduction i knew i needed something that is scary and horror themed to match and set the tone of the video from the very beginning. I also used a flame effect in the introduction when displaying the name of the video to emphasise the videos theme. I achieved this by installing a flame effect template from the internet and adding it to my timeline. i added it twice on the top and the bottom of the screen to create the effect of the full screen being engulfed in flames. I like this editing technique as it allows for a dramatic opening scene. For the first scene in the video i was filmed in different areas on Sunniside, smiling and giving 2 thumbs up. I decided that the comedic theme in the video also needed to be apparent in the early stages, the...

Final product

June 13, 2023

This is the completed version of my video. I have changed several things since the first draft. I re-recorded the voiceover clips i was unhappy with. I made sure they were louder and clearer in order for them to be easier to understand. I adjusted the volume of all of the audios throughout the video. This is so they are consistent and allow for a better viewing experience. Some needed adjusting more than others in order to get a good balance between the different audio channels, and to make sure the voiceovers are not drowned out by the back ground music. I changed the timing on the audio and video transitions to create a more seamless flow between scenes.

First draft of my documentary

June 12, 2023

First draft of the documentary After completing the first draft of my project, i have identified a few points which need improving for the final product. Firstly, the opening voiceovers were made when i was slightly uncomfortable with the idea of recording my own voice, so they came out quiet and hard to understand, but as i became more comfortable towards the end, i was able to speak louder and clearer. When i am improving the draft to complete the finished product i would like to re-record the first few voiceovers to make the dialogue throughout the video consistent. I would also like to polish up the video transitions throughout the video to make them smoother. I may also make them longer in order to create a better transition between scenes. The volume of the video clips/audio recordings is inconsistent throughout and i would like to set them all to the same decibel level so they aren't all different.

My script

May 16, 2023

First draft This is the first draft of my script. I have written the script in 3 distinct parts. The introduction, main body/ interview section and the ending. I wanted to express the narrative of the host, Christian Goodman to gradually become more understanding of skateboarding and become more tolerant. I figured this would be an interesting and entertaining character development for the audience to watch. To do this, i painted the character of Christian Goodman in the introduction as closed minded and inconsiderate. In the interview/main body of the documentary, the character opens up a little bit and becomes more interested, then towards the end of the video, he admits he was wrong and becomes more open minded and tolerant. final script Narrator Skateboarding... some would say a harmless pastime, that thing the glue sniffer on the bus said he used to do or that thing your dad said you should try because you have no friends. But what if I told you under...
