Editing Log

To add text to my documentary I had click on the "T" which allowed me to change the format, font, colour, size etc. I then decided on whether or not I wanted the text on a blank frame or over a background and I made the decision of just a blank frame which I wanted to finish the end of my documentary with a credit frame.

Before I could start making the documentary, I had to collect all the footage I had shot and upload it onto final cut which allows me to put the footage in chronological order in which I wanted my documentary to be shown in. Using final cut I was able to add graphics and sounds to my documentary so that the footage looked more professional.

I chose the song "wild wild life" by the talking heads because I thought it would suit my documentary and make it more interesting. For this I had to upload the song file onto final cut and edit the 3 minute song in order to fit over the chronologically arranged footage. 

In order to cut irrelevant footage in which I had collected I used the slice tool then used my curser to click the part I wanted to cut so it split into two parts which then allowed me to place piece of footage any where I wanted or just simply delete it.

Using Final cut I was able to change the filter of my footage for example, in the top left corner you'll see and image of two lions; in which I have made the brightness higher which has brighter greens and yellows.
