Fish out of Water

I have finally finished editing my documentary and I am very happy with how it has turned out. In terms of both production and post production this has definitely been one of the most challenging things I have made so far but it is definitely one of the most rewarding. I think that I have managed to portray a story and even convey some emotion towards the end of the piece via the use of music and editing. Initially when I had the idea I was worried that the final piece would be boring however due to the pace and the way I have told the story I think that the documentary is actually very interesting and conveys a compelling narrative about a young boy, isolated from his family and friends, trying to get by on his own. During the edit I couldn't decide whether or not my documentary needed a voice over or not, so I wrote one anyway and by the end of the edit I discovered that it flowed perfectly with out one. The piece is just over 6 minutes long and whilst I've left a lot of footage out I feel like it is just the right length due to the pace of the peace. I tried to end on an emotional part of the story in order to pull the heart strings of the audience as I feel like this will help the piece be more memorable. To conclude I am very happy with how this piece of work has turned out 'Fish out of Water' Is a documentary I am proud to call my own.
