Editing

Now we have nearly finished filming, we have started to edit the opening sequence on iMovie. We weren't happy one of the shots as the quality wasn't as good as we'd hoped and it was very shakey, so we've decided to re-film a small section of it.

We went to Weybridge Station and filmed a short clip of a CCTV camera moving to look at us, which is less shaky and clearer than our previous attempt.

We decided to speed up most of the clips as we wanted to make the opening engaging and exciting for the audience. We sped up each clip to 70% and we also stabilised some clips to make them more steady and smooth.

We then made some music to go with the opening on Garage Band. We wanted it to sound upbeat and exciting so made sure the music we created was fast and engaging.

We then transfered this music to iMovie and added it to our documentary. We made sure it stopped as the Titles appear on screen and to make it sound more professional we faded the music out.

For the title of our documentary, we added a transition called 'Lens Flare', which we thought was effective as it looks like the light and text is coming from the CCTV camera. The screen then fades to black and the title text appears.

We also added a transition at the beginning of the opening which was just a simple fade in from black to make it look neater.
