Editing process

Today we began the first stage of the editing process. We managed to to edit the archive footage we collected from You tube on 2012 bid announcement. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_lJkZ_K7jQ
We had to edit the unnecessary parts of the footage and only use the sections where there is the announcement of who the games are awarded to.
We used a series of transitions and sound fading to open and close the archive to add more of an affect to the documentary.
For example we we used a fade in at the beginning and fade out at the end of the archive to create more of an effect and meaning to the opening of the production. We also enhanced the sound out the beginning of the footage and made the sound fade away once the archive had finished.
After the archive footage we plan to have a voice over briefly explaining what our documentary will be about whilst at the same time different shot of landmarks around London.

Archive footage-Winning bid

This is some of the archive footage we are hoping to use at the start of our documentary to enhance the quality and add to the meaning of our production.
Our documenatary will open by showing the archive footage of London winning the Olympic bid back in 2005 in order to show the pivital moment of what possibilities and consequebces the Olympics will have.

Ancillary pictures

As part of our supporting piece we have taken a picture of Sam for a poster we are creating for the Olympic doccumentary. The poster will have some brief information on the programme, when it's on and what channel too.
The aim of the poster is to create awareness for our documentary and these are some of the pictures I have taken and edited to create more of an effect.

Ancillary piece

We have now begun interviewing Sam as part of our ancillary piece. We have asked him questions about the 2012 Olympics and have put the answers into a newspaper article that we are planning to create.
After we have asked the questions to Sam we have incorporated this into an article by being the interviewing and rein acting the interview we had with same before.

For example

The interviewer looked surprised. So you don’t think we can live up to the expectation?
“No, it will be hard but not impossible”Do you see yourself competing when it comes to 2012?“I feel that as I have already achieved world champion at Sports Acrobatics and if I continue to train at a high level then there is no reason why I should think that I won’t be competing by the time 2012 comes around.

We got this layout idea from:

Editing

Now we have our footage from London we have begun the stage of editing the footage. We have to decide what footage will be necessary for the documentary and how this will be constructed into the final piece. I still think we have additional filming to do such as interviews and possibly more filming in London.

Filming

A requirement of our documentary that we set ourselves was to film different areas in London. An area that we needed to go was Stratford as this is where the Olympic village is being constructed and also where the Olympic stadium will be as well. We managed to film certain areas of the building site and also around the Stratford area too.
