Editing (A2 Preliminary task)

After filming our documentary, the hard part soon came. How to edit this documentary was crucial in order to make it look authentic. We wanted the capture what the whole thing was about, as well as creating the twist of humour.

We found out that the cut-aways we filmed were an important part in creating our documentary, as we were able to add them in when things didn't go to plan, when some answers weren't fully answered, the cut-away shot was used to able to audience to get and understand what the question was. Therefore the cut-aways were an important part in getting our message we wanted across. However whilst editing out film, we didn't decide to put in a soundtrack, for the reason, that we wanted to audience to be able to hear what was being said, adding in a soundtrack might have overwhelmed the audience as there was already a lot going on.

We didn't really have many problems when editing our documentary, just that some parts may not have been fully answered and it a lot of detail, therefore, the cut-away was used in order to create that illusion that a lot of things were said by the interviewee.
