Digital News Unit: Post-Production: Editing the Food Festival

I turned my attention back to the Broadstairs Food Festival edit.

It was tricky trying to focus on the edit as we plan to re-record the voice-over bits for Cecily: leaving not much else to do.

The main problem was putting cutaways in to get some space between the voiceover so it's not a constant stream of voice in the report. The cutaways we did have didn't have audio so I had to find some royalty-free sound effects online to use.

The 2 audio tracks in the middle are royalty-free sounds.

The issue with adding cutaways though is that the more I add: the less of a live broadcast the piece becomes; instead looking more like a news package or documentary film.

But with not much else to add in there's few options, plus the running time is a little under 1 minute 40 seconds meaning we're coming up short on the required time.

With the draft deadline tomorrow I'm going to have to make do with what we have ready and hope the re-recordings improve the overall project as well as adding time onto it.
