LO3 - Evidence of editing footage and applying visual effects and transitions

The pictures labelled 1 and 2 are the text I added via the text tool, 'Are footballers heading for trouble' is is the name of my documentary and is a crucial part as it gives insight into what its about. I also added the 'Documentary Created by Louie Stirk' just to act almost like a credit so the audience know I made it. Furthermore the picture labelled 3 is the text properties, I used this to customize the style and size of the text, I changed the font to one called 'Impact' which is large and bold meaning its suitable for the genre and clear for an audience to see, I also added a shadow and underlined it which I felt gave it more depth on the screen whilst also creating more of a 3D look. Number 4 shows the editing I did to a certain clip in the documentary where there is cuts between different clips to create the effect of a casual but informal scene whilst I narrated. The image labelled number 5 shows all my edited audio, the blue audio at the top is the original audio of the videos I used however about 80 percent of it I either enhanced the volume drastically or just completed removed it all together because of reasons such as poor quality or it just wasn't necessary, The green audio seen at the bottom was effects and music I added during editing which are things such as questions for interviews, football noises, narration etc. Number 6 shows the exponential fade audio transition and number 7 shows the constant gain audio transition, both which I used a number of times throughout to either fade music in or out depending on multiple things like scene changes or audio changes. These effects help the documentary to flow better without having sudden jumps between parts and makes it feel more interlinked as a whole. Finally number 8 is the cross dissolve video transition I used which worked in a way similar to number 6 and 7 transitions, meaning I used it to switch between video clips more gradually to create the flow effect. Overall I kept the editing on the more minimalistic side because I wanted my documentary to feel more raw and real, if I had edited it too much I would have lost the originality and atmosphere that you get from a more low budget home made documentary.
