After hours of filming we are done! But now comes my least favorite part… editing. Everyone in my television club can tell you that I am not an editor. Premiere pro took me all three times to pass. Anyway! I am blessed to have amazing group members that are strong editors.
Our entire post production process took place in three days, Saturday the 15th-Monday the 17th.
Saturday November 15th:
After wrapping our final interview Zach and I headed over to our local panera to begin editing. Here we realized how tedious the process would be, as we had over 4 hours of footage….
We started structuring the documentary according to our original outline, and going through each interview to find soundbites that would work. Zach and I split up to get as much work done as possible.
Additionally, we began to search for music for our soundscape. We used Epidemic sound and Bulletproof bear to search.
After almost 4 hours of editing we had about 3 minutes done, and we decided to head home for the night.
Sunday November 16th:
On Sunday morning my team met up again to continue editing. I had practice for a news competition so I joined a few hours later. When I got to panera I was impressed by the progress that they had made. We continued to line edit for a few hours and Samuel was working on the graphics.
Monday November 17th:
Due date!! We had our final panera meeting and somehow after three days of eating it I still wasn’t tired of the panera mac and cheese (a girl needs her fuel!)
While my group members put in finishing touches like pictures and additional b-roll, I went to film the VO. Filmning the VO took a while as my group member Nico (our VO writer) changed things after he heard them. However, once the VO was complete it sounded great! I think the VO added a lot to the final doc. After some more last minute changes and tweaks the doc was done!
