Second Editing Session

During the course of our second editing session, my teammate and I have managed to get a background non-diegetic soundtrack on in the background of the interview clips, which fades when the interview clips are happening and becomes louder when the shopping clips happen with the typography in them. We have done this by editing the sound on the bar, and fading it out when necessary. Below, you can see how the sound works and how we used the editing software (premiere pro) in order to make this effective. The non-diegetic soundtrack used is a very upbeat track from a royalty free website, and this really helps to set the mood of a happy atmosphere for our documentary.

Here, you can see where we edited in the background soundtrack, and alongside it edited it to fade in and out at certain points to make the interview questions more clear. This took around fifteen minutes, to reach a level where the music was able to be heard without blurring out other background sounds. We also muted the shopping clips so only the music can be heard, because we want this to help the audience to focus on reading the statistic.
In this editing session, we also created an ident. This is what is used for someone to recognize or identify our editing company. We made this by typing the words into livetype and experimenting with the typography until we found the one we wanted, and then made an animation alongside it so when someone watches the documentary, the first thing they will be able to see is who it is made by. We also found an image on google that we decided would be a perfect design for our ident (from a royalty free site) so we used this as well. We edited it into the background of premiere pro, so all at the same time an introduction sound is played, which is also downloaded from a royalty free site called purple planet. Having all of these factors together works for a good introduction.

Below is what shows you how we made the ident on livetype and imported it into Premiere pro. This was the start of making the ident.

We have used two different software programmes to make these idents- live-type and premiere pro. So far for the documentary, we have around a minute's worth of footage edited together, which includes around ten interview clip answers, some questions, and three different clips with statistics edited over the top of them.
