We had to edit everything. Altogether the documentary being edited was quite difficult but was repeating the same techniques over and over again. We used effects, had to edit some out and edit new things in. It was all worth it as it made it better and look more professional.
Cutaways
Once we recorded the footage for our cutaways we had to see what parts of it looked okay and what parts looked reasonable for our documentary. We took bits out of some, kept the entire cutaway and simply just got rid of some.

We needed to make some bigger so we enlarged it then had to compress it so that it was okay in our documentary and not fuzzy. We also needed to make it louder because when we first got it the volume was quite quiet. When we placed it into Adobe we either kept the sound it came with or removed the sound and added music or different sound.
Interviews
We had to edit out all the questions of the interview and just keep the answers. Once we had done this we had to see what questions we would keep because there were too many questions for the amount of time that we had on that section. We kept all the good and useful answers that went with our documentary and removed all the ones that were good but less useful. We left gaps between some of the question to leave room for any cutaways that would be placed into the documentary. We also had to make some of the voices on some of them louder or quieter so they were a perfect sound. Then we placed music over the voice to give it more entertainment. Using the volume we lowered the music down so it was like background music and so the interviewees could be heard clear and loudly.

Archive footage
Archive footage was quite easy because it just came of the internet. Once that we uploaded it to Adobe we just had to look through it all and see what parts were actually useful and interesting. We edited all these parts out and put them to one side. We kept them on the side until we could put them in the place where they were going. If we didn’t want the sound and the image together we simply unlinked the two and removed the sound or video that wasn’t needed. If we didn’t want the video the sound was more likely to have gone over a image or another video cutaway and if we didn’t want the sound the video was more likely to be the cutaway and have either another voice clip added or music.

Voxpops
Voxpops were quite time consuming to edit because we had to constantly check through them and some were too windy so couldn’t be edited so simply were deleted. When we looked through them we needed to delete the questions and just keep the answers. We kept the footage to one side and some of the Voxpops were either too loud or too quiet so we had to change the volume. Also on one of the Voxpops it was really dark so we had to edit and put a lighting effect on it so that the person could be seen properly. Then we added it to the timeline and put them altogether. We put transitions between each one so that it flowed professionally. We made sure we didn’t choose a transition that was weird and didn’t look professional.

Title sequence
For the title sequence every time we had filmed the footage we had too upload it to Adobe and once we did this we looked through it too see if there were any bits that needed taking out such as a hand that was in the camera which wasn’t meant to be there. If it couldn’t be edited out or the background was seen very badly we simply had to start the filming again. When it was all okay and everything was alright we fast motioned the footage so that it would go faster and look more effective. We tried all different ones such as the very fastest and then slowly started going down in speed. Once we found the perfect speed it was finally done.
