Edale Project - Post Production

We started editing together the footage we had captured and one of the things that stood out was how much everything looked a like. All the trees and the scenery and the river shots. This and how much the weather had effected the shots, because once you put them in sequence an audience can't just immediatly understand that you had to change the exposure and the appeture to make the shot look correct on camera, it just looks messy and unorganised.
We did our best to make this work in our favour as our idea is essentially about the colour and movement of nature, therefore we were able to make some shots look structured. Though at the same time when we had our tutorial it was rightly pointed out that a few shots needed proper organisation so that our theme would come across to the audience.
The editing process itself is easy enough as there are no need for major special effects, just minorities such as speeding up/slowing down shots as well as reversing a few to help the flow as it is a documentary.
There are a few tweaks to be made after the tutorial but ultimatley i was pleased with how it went, i just think it will be a struggle to find some replacement shots because as previously mentioned, a lot of the shots look and feel the same.
