Post-Production Diary

 During the editing process I lost some of my footage, it was part of Lydia’s interview and as she was not in college I was unable to reshoot it.

Due to filming over a period of a few days my footage had lighting issues. In some scenes the lighting was different even though they were shot in the same place. I’m order to mitigate this I experimented with filters and the light fix tool. I used a combination of both of these to match the lighting of each scene with each other as closely as possible.

For the introduction of my documentary I included a voiceover so tbh at I could introduce the theme easily. This meant I had to have something to put the voiceover on top of, so i decided to keep it simple and just used the name of my project. To record the voiceover I simple recorded my voice then extracted the video into the editing software and layered it into the image of the introduction and added it as an audio.

Every film needs a end credits scene so i simply added text over a background then added that at the end of my documentary. I then used the zoom tool to make it appear as if the still image was moving by creating an effect where it looked like it was scrolling down.

I didn’t want to end credits to have nothing going for it so I added music that was used in the performance which I recorded. I simply added the video as an audio file which worked quite well.
