For this months project, my main focus was working on my Belize Documentary. I had a lot of interviews and b-roll to sort through, so I made picking out quality sound bites my main priority. I knew that there was no way I could finish the entire documentary by the end of the deadline, so I decided to put the good soundbites and b-roll that I found into a short trailer. At first, I was having a really hard time figuring out how everything was supposed to go together, so I decided that I needed to pick out the music first before I put any of the footage together. It took me more time to pick out the music than expected because I was looking for something very specific. I knew that I wanted something that started off slow, picked up speed in the middle, and ended with a big finish. After looking through many files, I finally found an instrumental pice that I really liked. I added the music onto my time line, then I found the three soundbites that best represented the documentary as a whole. Once I added those to the beginning, middle, and end, I was able to add corresponding b-roll. This trailer was super helpful to me because not only does it give a preview as to what the documentary is going to be, but it helped me identify what my main focus and theme is going to be. I am hoping that I will be able to edit and finish the documentary by the middle of winter.
