Editing

Throughout our editing production I used a number of different techniques to help bring the documentary together. When we were editing we realised that our running order had changed quite a lot due to certain captures being longer or shorter than we had prodicted.


Throughout the editing we looked at all the captures and edited which ones we needed to, we done this by cutting the segments we needed with the razor tool and then by dragging it into the right place. This made our documentary run in the order we wanted it to and it all grew to make sense.


We have used a variety of fades in our documentary aswell, fades for both audio and visual contents. This made the images and audio flow more conviently also making it look more intresting for the audience.


A number of times we also used fast and slow motion for certain images, this also makes it look more interesting for the audience and making certain images look unique compared to the rest of the sequences.


The music we found for our documentary would appeal to our target audience as we used happy excitable music.


We used graphics on our documentary as it lets the audience know who is talking and there relevance to the documentary. We positioned the graphics to the bottom left of the screen as this follows the codes and conventions of a typical mixed documentary.


I asked my english teacher if she would be the voiceover for our documentary and thankfully she said yes. We chose to have a female voice for our documentary because it's more conventional for family documentaries to have a female voiceover. Me and Bryony then booked out the radio studio and recorded the voiceover.

Here is our voiceover script:
(Bon,bons, cola bottles, sherbet, strawberry laces, lollipops, nibbles, millions, dolly mixtures, haribo, white mice, rainbow strips, gummy bears, floral gums, toffee, chewits, marshmallows, flumps)
Sherbet, liquorice and wethers originals, all sweets related to what kids call the oldies.
Sour balls, gob stoppers and millions all sweets that the kids just love. But how has the generation of sweets changed over the years.

Its scrumdidlyumtious its every child’s dream to live in a world made out of sweets, I wonder what the world would be like…

We had doubts wheather to have a voiceover just after our title sequence but we decided not to have one in the end, put the list of sweets was what we would have said if we did use a voiceover after the titlesequence.
