Production - Editing

Here I am showing where I have added different shots into my movie. The library of all the different shots that we took is the top left of this window. This is where  am able to pick and select the best parts of what I have filmed. I will not being using all of the footage that I took, this is because I know that  some of the shots were not of a good enough standard to be in my final film. This may be because they were too shaky or the sound was too muffled. 

Here I am sowing how I have added some titles into the film. I wanted them to be on a black background because this would have more of an impact on the viewer. As these titles are shocking facts, we wanted them to have the most amount of drama and impact so that the viewer does look and really think about what they are seeing and remember it as well. 

The main title of the film is an overlay on the actual film. We were able to do this through placing the text on top of the shot. This means that the text is then layered over the moving image and not on a screen on its own. 

In this screenshot it also shows the idents we have included in the beginning of our film. We were able to add these in the same way we added the other shots. With our "The Old Dairy" ident we wanted some text to show over the ident so we added it the same way we added the overlaid text to the main title. 

This final screenshot is showing how I manipulated and changed the length of shots. I needed to do this, because we were constantly changing the length of shots so that they weren't too long or too short. 

Ancillary product - double page spread - initial background

The background image of a double page spread is normally what the eye is drawn to first. Therefore I want the image of the double page spread to be the most successful piece in the whole product. As I do A2 photography as well as media, I am at an advantage as I will know the skills and techniques that are needed to take a good photograph and for it to be the correct quality for the page. I want to use the rule of thirds mainly in my background image. this is because of the eye. As there is the golden ratio/spiral as well I will try to include this within my work. The rule of thirds is important, because I want there to be text, yet the image to be the main focus, Therefore where there is less detail within the image I will be able to place the text.

Production - Filming day 3

Today we had to re-shoot the scene with the farmer as the mic was not working on the scene we shot a week ago. We also decided to change the location of the shot as the day was brighter and we wanted to show some interaction with the farmer and his stock.

Research - 4 Double page spread analysis

Production- Sound

George Ezra- Barcelona:
We felt this piece would be perfect for our trailer as it matches to the conventions of a farming, earthly like, stereotypical documentary. Appealing to the audience due to the calming and peaceful music, allowing each shot to smoothly run. The music is stereotypically linking to a country feeling, instantly connecting the audience to the topic of the trailer. The soundtrack has low and high pitch sounds that create interest with the audience making them want to watch more. The music also wouldn't draw the audience attention from the main focus creating a message of farming being hardworking however rewarding almost showing the beauty with this music. We choose this soundtrack as weliked it the most because it links to the conventions of a Farming documentary and allows the audience to connect with the characters more.

Here s the link to the website that we got our sound from that we wanted to use in our documentary. We chose this sound mainly because we wanted some light background music behind the interview and shots. As well as that, we wanted it to be in a major key, because we wanted to show how farming is idealised as being a cushtie job that doesn't take much effort. However inout titles and interview we are showing how it is not like that at all. 

Production - Rough Cut 2

Here is our second rough cut. We have added a main title to the documentary, the title is 'Farm Life'. From this point on we know that we need to do a voiceover and interview with the farmer to make the documentary have more of a structure and narrative.
