Final editing

I have been editing on Windows Movie Maker because it is the program that I have the most access to at home.
This past week I have been trimming various of the clips within the documentary in order to make them fit nicely. I ended up sticking to the two royalty free songs that I found online and I managed to incorporate them into most of my documentary.

I'm also putting some final touches on my website and trying to make it look professional. I made a Twitter for my documentary two days ago and have been adding pictures to the website constantly.

Documentary progress and research

As I am finishing up my documentary, I decided to research a bit more and read some tips from professionals.
I ran into an article about Michael Moore and his 13 rules for making a documentary film on IndieWire. I was able to learn a lot from just one article and highly recommend it to others.

I am also finishing up my poster for the documentary. I have seen various other posters aside from the ones I found last week. I chose to use the poster for "March of the Penguins" for reference since my teacher, Ms. Stoklosa, has a physical copy of the poster.

Lastly, I created a website for my documentary on wordpress. While I am not very familiar with the program, I have been able to slowly add things that will hopefully make the website look complete and professional.

Editing, editing, editing

I have managed to realize that technology is not always on my side.
I began editing 4 different times, and all 4 of those times something went wrong and I lost all of my work.
I decided to use a different computer to edit and I have now been editing for 3 hours. I hope that my progress actually saves when I click save!!
I'm really seeing the documentary come together and I'm very happy with how it looks. Everything is in order as of now, I just need to fix up some details and add some more music.
