This is the importing process in which we gathered all of our clips and images and inserted them into Premiere Pro CS6.

Here we went to ‘File’ then moved our mouse down to ‘Import’ then started to choose which clips we wanted to import, these clips were also chosen due to our edit decision list. The process was very similar to the production of the radio trailer only in bit more depth. This was because it involved a lot more accuracy with cutting the clips and the placement of each clip/text and image.

As displayed here this is the title sequence we have created for the opening 20 seconds of our documentary. This was created using a lot of precise cuts from the ‘Razor Tool’ and help with knowing what parts to cut with the ‘Zoom Tool’ because these 2 tools were very helpful we consistently used them throughout the whole of the process of our documentary.

Razor Tool

Zoom Tool

For during the documentary process we also included a voiceover that we recorded of a specific person we chose to read out a script that linked with our documentary. This was recorded in the I.C.E Radio room and then imported into our documentary Premiere process. We used the zoom tool to get a closer look at the length of the audio file, then listened closely to the words and kept an eye on the time of the audio file then paused on cut using the razor tool where we were happy and placed each section of the cut voiceover in between where we set our interviews.

This is the time line that is for every video. We used it a lot during the making of our documentary because it always helped with seeing how long the clip or image was playing for.

For our title sequence we changed the colour of the filter on the clip for a more dramatic flair, this being because black signifies as being a past tense/older filter.

As displayed below the black and white clip the difference in filter. We did this by double clicking on the clip we wanted to put this effect on and a rectangular shaped box/panel appeared next to our clip in the right hand corner of premiere pro. It showed use these choices. We clicked on video effects bar and all these options came up. We clicked on where is said ‘Black & White’ and it shown a little filled box with ‘FX’ inside.

This then gave the clip we wanted a Black & White filter. We did this on 4 clips for our title/opening sequence.

When we came too adding a text box into our documentary we pressed ‘Ctrl + T’ in order to create a title box. That gave use the option to rename it in case we felt it was easier when finding what we were looking for. We did not rename any of the title files. This was because they were number 1-23. It also gave us an opportunity to change any other features of each title we added but we did not feel it was necessary to do so.

This particular part of the documentary was when we wanted the supermarket logos/badges to appear on the screen when the voiceover mentioned their name. This we had to import and drag the file over to the position and then hover the mouse over which ever file (logo/badge) we wanted to move or change the time it stayed on screen for and then wait for this red symbol/tool to appear automatically, but before clicking it and moving it we had to use the zoom tool to get a more accurate reading and then click the red symbol/tool and drag the image to a size which fit in with the timing of that logo/badges name and how long it stayed on screen for.

There were certain clips that we had that we only wanted for the purpose of their audio. This complicated thing because we then had to place each clip we didn’t wanted to see on a specific track that didn’t interfere with any of the other clips/images. For if we ever needed more tracks we would just right click on the space above the previous track and then this would appear. We had 9 tracks in total which was one of the most that our media department has seen in a while. We felt that the more tracks, the easier it was to hide the viewing of certain clips that would allow us to only hear the audio from that clip. To hide the clip we didn’t want to see we would simply just find the track it was on, check no other clips were on that track that we wanted to make sure were included in the documentary, and then click the little box with the eye inside.

As shown here, the video viewing has been hidden, but the audio is still there. This was very handy to be able to choose between viewing the clip and letting the audio be heard.

We layered images and clips on top of each other on different tracks as shown in the screenshot to the left. It took a lot of time to cut, plan and place where the each part of this sequence would go. The audio was possibly the hardest one because of having to listen to clip and decide where about it would go for some of it because sections of the voiceover would of been able to be placed anywhere on the documentary because it included a lot to be said.

One of the trickiest software’s we used to create a specific effect on our title itself was ‘Adobe After Effects’. We wanted to make our title fade in from a low opacity to a high one. This involved plotting out key points of the fading process and changing the Opacity levels from low to high. We had to use YouTube tutorials to help because we could not fully understand it.

After finally completing the construction of the documentary it ended up looking like this.
