Edit log (the official edit)
1.Date/programme title/location
Give the details
2.Description of material to be edited and what tone/audience you are trying to reach
The footage shows two different angles of James who has been interviewed. The
footage is about 20 minutes long and it needs to be shorten to about 4 minutes
without including the questions.
3.Key edit decisions taken within that time frame and a discussion of their creative impact
The largest and more important decision that I had to make during the process of editing was to break down James's' interview into small parts that contain the most interesting and powerful statements. It had to entertain and inspire. It also had to fit it 2 minutes where the whole interview was about 20 minutes long. It was a big challenge and it took the most of the time. From the best answers I
picked the best parts of them and then I spend very long time in putting them
into the right order. Then I had to decide on the cutaways that I would place
on top of the interview. They had to work with the soundtrack and what has been
said by James as much as possible so it would be pleasant to watch.
4.Key techniques/tools used. What are they and how do they function?
For this short edit I used already edited cut always which I mentioned in
the "cut
aways post"
I also played with the sound to
have it a bit quiet when James was
talking and lauder a the beginning and the end. Also the important part was to
start turning the volume up when James was finishing his part. I think it made
the message seem more powerful. I used simply the pen tool to mark where I want
my sound bridges to start and end.
I explained how it works in the "Coloring
and Sound effect on Premiere Pro with Eye TV " post
More than that I used dip
to black or dip to white tool to make some of the jumps between different cuts
more smooth.
5.Areas to improve on for following edit
I think that I managed to put pieces together pretty well. Maybe I could
have used better cut always in better moments to make better link between the
visuals and the sound. I think I could improve on the time I spend on choosing
the right things that James said. I think I spend really a lot of the time on
it and I feel like I would like to learn how to find the good parts quicker,
just to safe the time.

Edit log (the director edit)
Everything that has been dome for the offcial edit is basycally the same as it is for the director edit. There is only a couple of small changes that I made. Those are:
The logo that is presented at the end of the director edit has been used at the begining of the offcial edit, to show the importance of Norwich For Jobs rather that our company and logo of our company that has been used at the begining of the director edit has been used at the end of the official edit, hust to present who did the film, rather tan introdue it at the begining.
In the director edit I have a small section before the actuall video starts. I did it as a short introduction, however it has not much to do with the purpose of this video. It much rather introduces the company that produced the video. I did it because I wanted it to look like those excented logo presentations before showing a film like for example disney does (they used it for the first time with The Pirates of Carabean).
I decided not to give the client this version of this edit because I thoght that it was unnecessery. Therefore I liked what I produced and it allowed me to experiment a little bit and get into the tone of the video that I was going to edit. The glitch and interesting transitions between te shots were like a first step to me to know exactly what I was doing.
The footage was not exactly random. It was filmed before James came to be interviewd so the footage is from the set of the interview, so technically the whole thing still stay consistent.
