Tuesday 13th October
I have now pretty much finished editing my documentary together i am just doing some last minute tweaking and things such as adding my the credits in and watching it over to check if there are any last minute touches i can make to improve it.
Once i was happy with my documentary i showed it to my teacher and a student to see if they thought there were any last minute improvements i could make.
I got good feedback and they said it engaged them and thought it such as making the the images not move off the page so fast and keep the eyes of the images of celebrities on the screen to focus the audience.
It was useful getting last minute feedback as i could change things which i would not have noticed myself to improve my documentary.
It would have been a better idea to get some feedback a few days earlier so if there were any major tweaks i needed to make or things in, i would have time to do so however due to the lack of time this was not possible.
I made these changes and my watched my documentary over and my documentary was finally finished! I was very pleased with the final result and it felt good to finish as i had spent so much time and hard work on it and was very stressed towards the end as i thought i would not have got it done.
if i had more time i would definitely make some changes such as having more of my own footage and using better camera skills. Also the major thing i would do which would allow me to do those things would be planning my time more efficiently as i had to rush and spent lots of time towards the end, finishing it last minute.
I will be showing my documentary along with a PowerPoint presentation tomorrow to the rest of my class and teachers where i will be assessed.

I have been working very hard trying to finish my documentary. There is so much involved in editing it together as there it always something you find that you can tweak, or adding another image in somewhere.
I also created my presentation about my documentary which i needed to pitch as i show my documentary. I included what my documentary was about and why i chose it, what my role was, what was done and how well i think i managed the project.

Wednesday 7th October
The deadline is next week - the 8th October so i am spending every hour of my spare time editing my documentary! It is difficult as there are things such as the voice over clips all sounding a different volume level to each other so trying to get these all the same is tricky!
Monday 5th October
As i now have everything i need for my documentary; footage, clips, images, music and voice over it is now just a matter of editing it all together and making it run smoothly! However it is not as easy as it sounds as this is a very hard and long process!
Friday 2nd October
I decided to redo my whole voice over as the voice over doesn't have a lot of expression and comes across as a bit boring and doesn't really engage and interests the audience. As i think the voice over is an important part of a documentary i believe it should be strong and engaging which is why i think i should redo it. Although it will take more time which i don't really have, i think it will be beneficial in the end.
I started my third attempt of the voice over today and after a few hours of hard work i managed to finish it! It sounds a lot better than the previous voice over and has more expression which makes the documentary more believable to the audience and they can believe what the presenter is saying. I am please with my final voice over and i am glad i chose to redo it.
However now i am panicking about time as the deadline is very soon!!

I started to do my voice over as this would help me put the documentary together a bit more easily, knowing where to put certain things. I started to do my voice over on i-movie, where i was creating my documentary however as i didn't find this very effective i decided to make my voice over on garage band and then i could convert the voice files to i-movie.
The voice over was one of the most difficult stages of this project as it was hard to maintain the same volume throughout the whole script. Also i kept making mistakes so this was very irritating and had to read parts over and over again. I also needed complete quite when doing my voice over but this was not practical as there were other students working too.
