Editing in Premiere

Now that I have finished filming my footage, voice overs and any other images which will be included in my documentary I will start putting it all together in Adobe Premiere. Before editing, adding effect or backgrounds I cut the footage I took into different sections to divided them and remove any unwanted footage.

Green Screen
For the green screen background I decided to place the users own privacy settings. 

Example of what it looks like in the video, I placed the interviewees on one side so that the viewers can see the option that they selected for their privacy. 

Interviews
In my documentary I will use the interviews I carried out in the studio, I will cut the interviews into smaller clips and group them according to the question that was asked. Instead of having my voice in the interview asking the questions I have decided to cut myself out.

Music
Apart from my voice overs I am also using music in the background. Instead of using songs with lyrics I will be using instrumental versions of them in order to not distract users from the voice overs or the interview answers.

Song
The Darkness- I believe in a thing called love Instrumental Version Fedjudas Mix

I decided to only have one song as I didn't want to combine two songs which did not go together therefore once the song had finished I copied it onto the audio track again using a fading technique in order to blend it in with the rest of the song. During my documentary I had the music fading in and out depending on the section of the video. The parts where I just had images displayed I had the music playing loud although I would fade it out when any voice overs or interviews were playing.

Voice Overs
I imported my voice-overs onto Premiere unfortunately many of my files couldn't be used as my pronunciations on somethings weren't correct such as the letter P. When I would pronounce the letter P it would form a popping sound. I therefore had to go back and re-record some of the voice overs again.

Before re-recording my voice-overs i had a look for tips to avoid having the same problem again. Below is the website I had a look at:

Some one my voice overs weren't very loud so I amplified them in audacity to make them louder. I also changed the speed of them as most were too slow in pace.




Effects
I didn't add many effects to my documentary only just the audio and film transitions from one clip to another. For the audio I used the Constant Gain audio transition all throughout, this blend my music sections from louder to softer or from softer to louder. The video transitions had some different effects most clips had the film dissolve. At the beginning of my documentary I used a page flip on the Facebook logo followed by the page peel on the images appearing during the voice over introduction.

Images
In my documentary I've added images of statistics backing up my voice overs.

End Credits
Since I didn't know how to create end credits I looked up a video on www.youtube.com to guide me.

I decided to create my credits with a white background instead of black as most of my images have a white background. I displayed the interviewees names, the song that I used and my details.

Once my blog was complete I exported it out of Premiere. I clicked on file, export media and the window appeared with all the exporting options. Below are the exporting options that I had chosen for my project.

Filming, Interviews, Voice-Overs

Interviews
I filmed the interviews in the AV studio where I used the green screen in order to then be able to add a separate background instead of the original background where it was shot at. My intentions where to have a Facebook privacy settings page set out behind the person being interviewed although seeing as the information gathered in the interviews are about the individuals profile I might either display their own privacy setting or their Facebook profile.

Voice Overs
I used the studio in order to record the voice overs using a gun microphone. I placed 2 boards forming a triangle shape with a chair in the middle for the person talking into the microphone to sit on. This was to block any other sound which the microhone might pick up on. I recorded them using Audacity as one whole file and then edited them into small ones to then be able to palce them separatley in premiere. Before I exported the files I increased the volume as some of the clips werent very loud.


Gun Microphone:
Below I have displayed an image of a gun microphone which is what I used to record my voice-overs.

Voice Recording:

Below I have displayed a diagram of how we set out the studio to record our voice overs for our documentaries.

Audacity:

Below is a screen shot of Audacity and some of my voice recording after I amplified my voice recording to be louder.  

Now that I have completed my filming the next step is to edit all the footage and create my documentary. 

Cyber Bullying

Even though I have researched Facebook and its privacy settings I have also looked at cyberbullying which is one of the dangerous aspects of exposing yourself on the web. Cyberbullying is referred to bullying carried out through technological devices either being the web, phones, ipods; this can consist on written messages to deliberately threaten or hurt someones feelings. This type of bullying can also consist of photos, videos, emails, blogs etc... Rumours are also spread this way in order for more people to find out and dislike this person which in many cases leads to all of them ganging up on them. The use of of social networking sites are great to share events in our lives with friends and family members but exposing yourself in these sites is very dangerous. Many people don't realise how dangerous cyberbullying is in some cases it has lead to deaths.

Forms of Cyberbullying

There are different forms of cyberbullying theses are explained below:

• Instant messaging

Threatening messages are sent from this form of communication sometimes people don't realise how bad they are as they are not actually being said in person just by a technological device.

• Logging into someone else's account without their consent

In many cases users have given out their passwords to friends, family members etc... This results to people logging into their account and pretending to be the other person, they tend to insult people and post inappropriate comments, pictures etc... Giving out passwords to other uses have resulted to people being blocked out of their own accounts as their passwords have been changed or the inappropriate content has resulted the website into disabling their account.

• webites, blogs

These forms of communication have been used to bully people as it has a very wide audience and therefore many people will see what is being posted not just a minor amount. Facebook pages have been created to insult other people, personal information along with pictures to identify the person are posted this is also a form of ruining their reputation and getting more people to hate them.

• Using emails and phones to send information

These forms of communication are normally used to contact people although it is also used to send inappropriate pictures, videos of people they may know in order to embarrass them. Unfortunately methods of communicating such as these can be sent to hundreds of people and they can then themselves resend the message to more people resulting in everyone seeing it. Many of these pictures aren't posed with the intent of having them sent to everyone in many cases people are in locker rooms or their own homes when predators are looking to capture them at their most personal time. These forms of communication are even used to send hacking software and virus codes to victims. Programs such as the Trojan Horse allow bullies to control their victims computer information or even the stuff they do.

• Interactive gaming online with games consoles

Many devices nowadays such as the PlayStation 3 and X-box live have the ability to allow users to play against others online. The even allow the 2 gamers to communicate to each other online using the chat facility or the Internet phone which tends to be a headset you wear as your playing the game. Unfortunately with gaming users are very competitive and tend to insult and be verbally abusive to the other players.

Prevention

In order to prevent cyberbullying people need to be told about the consequences that will occurr if they aree involved in cyberbullying. They should also be taught to not tolerate bullying and help prevent it if they personally see if on something such as their Facebook homepage.
