Production Log 6


What progress did you make since your last entry?

I have now completed the project. I imported the music for the interviews, opening segment and sign off segment. I have also lengthened some graphics as there was not enough time to read them perviously. I did a voice over for some of the graphics as the silence was not well fitting with the flow of the documentary. Other than this not much as changed in the documentary and i happy with its outcome. 

What logistical challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?

I encounter no logistical challenges this week as it was very quickly finished and planned out well..

What techincal challenges did you face this week and how did you overcome them?

I had a very small problem of making a graphic scroll on the editing software but i looked up on the internet a tutorial to do the task i was attempted and quickly found the correct way to do it.

what targets do you aim to acheive before your next entry?

This was the final week so i will not but doing any more updates to the production log.

Production Log 5



What progress did you make since your last entry?

I have nearly completed the entirety of the project now as i finished up with all the editing together and only need to add in some background music and do some tweaks to the footage to improve the quality. I had to remove a large portion of the documentary as the max time allowed as 10 minutes and i ran my documentary for 17 minutes.

What logistical challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?

The only issue i faced was the trying to cut down the less imported footage but that was not too hard as i found i have a large section at the start about the 1st day without sleep that was rather boring and pointless to have.

What techincal challenges did you face this week and how did you overcome them?

I am very familiar with the program, Final Cut Express from pervious production, therefor i did not run into any challenges.

what targets do you aim to acheive before your next entry?

The up coming week will be the last week of editing and i will only using a small portion of time next week to add the music and a couple of graphics, and possibly voice overs if any improvements are necessary. This should not take much time to do.

production Log 4


What progress did you make since your last entry?

This week i have been in the studio most of the time editing the footage i have. Sadly i have not be able to use all the time i was allocated to the studio as it became occupied during some of my time. Other than this i have been able to work very efficiently. During the time i was sent away i had recored the final parts of the documentary such as the summery and intro. I have also given up on the search for the psychological expert as i have too much footage as it is and it will not effect the documentary too much.

What logistical challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?

The only issue i faced was the cancelation of the editing studio. This was not much of a big deal as i still had footage i could recored making the time well used for different parts of the project.

What techincal challenges did you face this week and how did you overcome them?

I am very familiar with the program, Final Cut Express from pervious production, therefor i did not run into any challenges.

what targets do you aim to acheive before your next entry?

Next week i would like to finish all the editing for the documentary as well as adding all music, final graphics and do the voice over for the small sections i am missing.

Production Log 3


What progress did you make since your last entry?

This week i have recored the interviews for the documentary and started to sort though the diary logs on final cut express. I have decided to also record multiple cut aways for the documentary as i did not get any during the study.

What logistical challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?
I came across no problems this week as the interviews stayed available and i had no reason to rebook or change any plans.

What techincal challenges did you face this week and how did you overcome them?
There has not been any technical challenges this week luckily, the recording went to plan and most of this week was looking though and sorting out what footage i would use for the documentary.

what targets do you aim to acheive before your next entry?

By the end of the up coming week i would like to complete all my footage recording as well as starting to edit at least the first minute of the documentary.
