Documentary Unit - Editing Part 2

Continuing with the editing, I decided to make some changes in the image to give more life to the video. After going through all the shots from Essex, I realised that many of them looked very "dead," like they had not much color into it. I decided to boost the color in the video by giving it a Hard Light effect on Final Cut, that later on I will reduce in the Control Panel, plus I saturated some of the clips a little bit, just to give them a bit more life. Here is an example of what was done:

Original Clip

After

After making better all the necessary clips, we started working on how to put it all together so it didn't look like two different stories, both the Brentwood part and the dog part. The original cut for Brentwood was about a minute long and included the interview of Gemma Collins already edited and cut to fit the video. After showing it to Helen and watching it over and over, we realised that it definitely looked like the video was about Brentwood instead of dogs. We decided to cut the beginning down to 30 secs and included dogs at the end of it, so that we could link it with the intro and start the real main topic. We also cut Gemma's interview because it wasn't relevant, although we kept her as part of our introduction to show the TOWIE section of Essex. 

By this moment we had already decided how the storyline was going to breakdown:
