All that there is left for me to do now that I have completed all planned shoots is to actually edited and create my short documentary. To begin with, I was considering the length of the piece even beforehand, as the maximum time was 5 minutes. I was initially unsure if I had enough footage to create a good 3-minute piece, as I do not think I produced the 1:100 ratio that usually is given to a documentary. By this, I mean 100 shots per minute of film. I actually did about half this and therefore must achieve this in future shoots. Nevertheless, after import all my chosen footage into Premier Pro, I was content with most of the quality of the shots. If not mentioned before, I chose to edit and use my third shoot as I collected more footage with this interview as well as feeling that this had clear direction and intent. Moreover, the quality of cinematography was better here than with the previous shoots which lacked similar qualities. Once this decision had been established, I set about creating a rough cut of the film and discovered that it was possible to created the maximum 5 minutes with the footage I had. Some may argue that the variety of shots was lacking and more were needed, which to an extent I agree. However, I did capture a range of different things and can work well with what I have captured. I have caught relevant things to the interview, which the model has mentioned and therefore, made sure that everything relates to the subject matter and the interview as it is rolling. In terms of listening to the interview back again, I am incredibly pleased that it is coherent and answers the question and repeats the questions in order for the audience to understand what the model is driving at. This quality fell short in some of the previous shots and has been a learning curb for me, as I have had to ask for more from the model. Obviously, as I have made a rough cut, I have manipulated the order and flow of the film but I can conclude that it moves forward easily and with ease. I think I can say that I have finally mastered this skill. Another point to raise about the interview was the sound side to the piece. When initially placing all footage with thevisuals I was listening to the recordings from the camera itself. Although, the model was clear and consistent, there was general noise from the internal microphone that was picked up. This is not a problem for myself as I also used a zoom recorder during the shoot, which was running alongside the camera. Therefore, this cleaner recording was used when I edited the sound at the end of the postproduction stage. I am incredibly pleased with this element of the film as it proves that if you plan a shoot well it saves time in later stages. I made sure I picked a quiet area to conduct my interview and had extra recording equipment running at the same time. As a result, there is no noise on the final audio of my film and syncing both sound and visuals together was so much easier. I did not think that the piece needed an added soundtrack, other than the one towards the end because of the successful interview. Out of all things completed, I am most proud about this stage.

As mentioned before, I used footage from a television series, which again, was achieved by a screen recording. Obviously, if this was a professional piece I would have to get archive footage and go through copyright but since this is a private project this method worked. Colour grading the entire piece was interest as when looking at the lighting of the general piece, the colour temperature was cool and blue. Interestingly, I noticed similarities between the cinematography in my own narrative piece completed the term before. My use of natural light alongside soft added lighting/reflecting works well in both and is something I will continue to explore. I decided to warm the piece up ever so slightly but really did not alter many of the shots that much. The ones I did have difficulty were of the theatre in which the lighting proved a challenge to work with. They made the piece look far to orange and needed to be toned done. Likewise, to link back to a previous point, there was more noise because of the low lighting and due to the ISO being raised. In the future, I would pay more attention to these low conditions as well as to stay longer and capture more footage. Yet sometimes time runs out. Here, as mentioned, there was a show running so I was capturing footage in the time given. Here is where more shoots are needed. When creating the look for my piece I was aware that I was considering the research I looked at previously and have been influenced by the works of Woody Allen and Martin Scorsese because they create piece that capture a feeling of interest as well as ease when watching one of there documentaries. Hopefully this is what I have created too. My work, such as the narrative as been described as reminding people of a Greenaway film. I wonder if I have successfully been able to capture this feeling in this completely different kind of work. I am praying that my audience, of which is my class peers, will enjoy watching it as well as gain some knowledge into comedy itself. Overall, I have enjoyed the post production stage of this project and now only need to evaluate the project as a whole.
