First Doc edit and Evaluation.

After finishing our first edit of our documentary we are clearly beginning to see a real narrative forming which is good news. There is a very clear structure and story evolving and we've made (as a group) great progress *woo*

We wanted to see what our teacher thought as we were pretty happy with this edit and he gave us some very constructive criticism and feedback.

• Edit  news clips
• Fade out Ali Cornwall intro sooner
• Edit sound on outside interviews
• Editing on interviews
• make fade outs near end slower
• create a better ending

Evaluation
After talking about and reviewing our documentary we did find quite a few faults with it and want to make the necessary changes to fix it. Watching it over and over again we saw that soume of our fade outs were unnecessary and needed to be cut down a lot more as they lasted too long. We, also needed much sharper cuts between shots as they again, lasted way too long and would help cut down wasted time. However, Ali sometimes found to keep the continuity clean and sharp this was sometimes impossible so that may not be done. We also found some of our sound levels were too high and needed to be lowered. Again, Ali did try this but had some difficulty doing so.

The next thing that we need to do is change our voiceover as the journey of our documentary has changed. Instead of third person it needs to change to first as it is more about Ali exploring the change in his nephew as well as himself.

We also realized that the mode of our documentary has changed and has gone from Observatory to Participatory. Before the idea was that we were observing Kyreece's behaviour and how it actually led to the stimulant Dopamine but after editing and changed the story we saw that it was actually a Participatory documentary as Ali is involved more. By doing this we have made it more realistic which contributes to the realism of the documentary. We want it to be relatable so people can connect to it and by changing the mode we are able to have that effect on the audience. The change of mode also links to the ethics of the documentary as it shows that we have taken into consideration the use of having someone on the team taking part in the documentary as well. Of course, we could not do this unless we had his permission which thankfully Ali eventually agreed to :)
