Editing

Below are the images of the logging that we done, before we edited any clips. The logs show what we recorded and how long the recording lasts for. On the first column it shows the number of the log, secondly it shows what the footage it, thirdly it shows how long it is and lastly whether it was a good shot to use or not so good. We had 28 logs altogether.

Editing took the longest to do throughout the whole project. There were things that needed the be re-filmed such as the vox-pop due to sounding issues. It was also difficult with the drag queen as we had so much footage from it that it was hard to cut down as we wanted a lot of it in.
  • All the questions that were asked were edited out and the cutaways were placed where an answer was jumped to another, it made it look professional.
  • The opening sequence included a song that met the target audience to draw them into what they were watching in which the song faded out into the documentary which was the voice over of an introduction to the documentary.
    "Make-up has become a multi-million pound industry. With over 93% of 14-25 year olds saying image is important to them and with over half of them wearing it everyday. It is proven to be one of the biggest industries world wide.
    The make-up industry has branched out to all genders and ages, with 63% of people saying it is acceptable for males to wear make-up. Make-up is now a part of most people's careers and social lives."
  • The second voice over we done linked towards the main part of the documentary was the drag queen.
    "With the make-up industry continously growing, new products are continuing to emerge. Several make-up lines for men such as 'The Men Pen' and 'Guyliner' have taken off in the past years. These companies have found it difficult to convince journalists that male make-up is fast becoming mainstream, even though having sold thousands of products world wide."
We fixed all the sound levels so the music and voiceover could both be heard.
The effects were kept to a minimum so that we could follow the codes and conventions of documentaries so we only used straight cuts and fade to black.

This was the vox pop at first, due to the sound of background noises and voices being too low they had to be re-filmed.

This is included as part of the opening sequence to the documentary, it was subjects all relating to make-up to give the audience an idea to what they were watching if they didn't know already.
