Editing Process

While gathering the footage for our documentary I realized we had enough interviews. However, for the senior interviews there were only male interviewees. So, I thought it was logical to have a female speaking. Yet, Gaby and Isabel didn't know anyone that could be interviewed that was a woman. Luckily, I thought of my friend, who's grandma is visiting for Spring Break. I asked him later if we could interview her and he said that he's sure she'll have no problem with it. So with that out of the way, I started to add clips we took from around the neighborhood to use as establishing shots.
  We also chose to start the documentary with quote said in Spanish by Isabel's grandpa because we thought it would capture the audience's attention since it is most likely going to a be a language they don't understand. But, we are still unsure if we want to keep it or not. We also, put several shots of the trees, streets, and close ups of the first interviewee. We also tried to find some music with no copyright but it's been difficult to find the right one with the right sound. We want something delicate, with mainly a piano as the lead to resemble how delicate and gentle life really is.
   Lastly, this week, we are going to meet up for editing so we can finish the documentary and then get started on our website and poster. The week after break we're going to shoot for our poster.
