First draft editing

To edit our film we chose to use Final Cut Pro because it is a software that i am familiar with and have used before for other projects. We has 500+ clips that we first had to go through and pick the clips that we would use.

I edited the mass majority of the film due to my team being on holiday and lack of experience with editing video. The first thing i did was match the audio with the visuals of the interview. I had to do this because we had a two camera set up. One was central and was capturing his voice using a rode mic capturing the highest quality sound and the other camera i was operating and i had to capture the soft visuals of the interview using my 50mm with an f/1.8 this created a soft bokeh.


I then organised the clips in terms of location, i did this because i wanted to arrange the clips to the audio and match what he's talking about to a visual image. This helps solidify what Kamel is talking about and makes it more relevant. We arranged the clips into the skate park in QF, then the skatepark in Katara, then CNAQ when he talks about his education and finally any extra clips from random locations.

I felt the first draft was missing a large portion to tell the story, to find out what is missing we are planning to ask put target audience on what to improve or add.
