LO4: Evidence of a focus group screening of your finished film




We screened our documentary to my brother and my cousin. They both play football at school level and were interested to see what it's like playing at a higher level. They gave us some feedback on the documentary on the form of a questionnaire.

LO3: Final Film




This is our finished documentary. Overall I am very pleased with how it has turned out. I feel it gives a good representation of what it is like being a high standard amateur footballer and would give the target audience something they can relate to.

LO3: Producing and reviewing an offline edit






Above is our offline edit, which includes all the clips we filmed for the documentary. The footage ranges from the very first scene we filmed where Cal went to the football pitches he can first remember playing on, to the scenes on the football pitch he mainly uses today with his friends.

The scene at Graves Park was the most difficult to film, as the wind played a factor in the quality of the audio. The cars on the road and the people/dogs in the park also hindered the quality of the footage. During editing we will try and work around these to crop them from the final footage and adjust the audio so Cal's voice still remains but the wind is removed.

What went well was that we managed to film everything that we needed, and we got some really cool and great quality shots. Some of the goals that Cal scored during the football session will amaze the viewers, and could inspire them to try and score similar ones. The slow motion footage came out incredibly well too. The kick ups and tricks in the park especially look great and with some added effects during the post-production stage, will make them look even better.

LO3: Linking audio to visuals and applying audio effects




Here is an example of us applying the audio to the footage. In this clip Cal is walking around the football pitch where he can first remember playing football, with his voice over the top. When he was recording the audio he must have been too close to the device as some starts of words were too loud. We combated this problem by cutting the audio where it was too loud and reducing the volume. As it was only the start of the word that was interrupted, the edited audio still sounds the same quality as the original audio and still flows nicely.

LO3: Applying appropriate visual effects and transitions



For one of the transitions Sam had the idea of the clip falling back into the other. To do this we had to open up an Adobe After Effects project. First we layered the clips over the top of each other. Next we found the effects that would help us achieve the transition. These were motion blurs. We put the motion blurs over the start and finish of the two clips and added keyframes for the clips to move backwards. We then exported this short clip to use in Premiere Pro, which is what we used to edit the documentary.
