Documentary Unit: Editing
Me and Gemma are still at the editing stage with our documentary, however we have composed an opening title sequence now which is looking good. Also today we are going to record the commentary for the documentary so that we can give the audience a clearer idea of what is going on along the way.

Documentary Unit: Editing
Well, now that we have all of our filming done, we are at the editing stage. Due to the fact that we were unable to film as much actuality as we had hoped, our documentary is going to be featuring interviews fairly heavily. However this is by no means a bad thing as the individual featured in it is a very interesting person and has a lot to say about their situation.
The first stage of the edit now is to compose a sync assembly. That is, put all our interview clips in the right order and trimmed to the right length and then play them through to ensure that they make sense. Once this is done the next stage is to work out where the commentary and actuality shots will be going in the documentary as a whole.

Documentary Unit: Filming Friday 3rd December 2012
Today me and Gemma were supposed to be filming Kathy on her journey on the bus from Maidstone to Hadlow college, however it proved a little difficult to wake her in time, so instead we filmed her at home doing some housework and so on. Once we had filmed this, we discovered there was not enough free space on the memory card, so we would have been unable to film this sequence today anyway.
Despite this minor setback, interviews that me and Gemma filmed during the week with Kathy and Orlagh and Kaylash (Kathy's flat mates) proved to be a success. During these interviews, I assisted Gemma in setting up the camera and then filled the role of camera operator while Gemma conducted the interviews. Today we are importing the footage from the camera to Final Cut Pro to give us more room on the memory card, and we have managed to book the camera for an extra day, so all being well, we will be filming the bus ride to Hadlow tomorrow morning.
