Portfolio Project: Editing cont.

    I have spent this final week before the project submission collecting the last bits of b-roll that I wanted to add into my documentary to break up the interview videos. I found finding b-roll for this documentary to be significantly harder than the documentary that I previously created in the year because the topic is so specific, and collecting visual representations of grief can be quite difficult especially when telling an almost 16 year old story. Nonetheless, I did my best to collect videos of people being happy, and families eating out at restaurants, etc. to contrast the more sad videos that I have collected.

    I feel that this contrast will really put into perspective the topic at hand, and the tremendous impact loss on such a great scale can have on every aspect of a person's life. I also believe that this will connect with the information and stories that my subject is mentioning within the interview. Family is the overarching theme of this documentary and I believe that this b-roll does an amazing job at showcasing that. 

    I am continuing on in my editing and hope to be finishing up by the end of the weekend.
