    After editing 3-4 big production documentaries
    I have only 2 tips -
    Organize a folder structure before you even create a project and copy it into the project - you will definitely add more footage while working, either add it to it's appropriate folder or create a new folder with the date. But stick to whatever method you choose!!
    Do not prepare any more.
    Go in.
    Edit your ass off and get to know those clips, you will have literally a hundred drafts, you will change things a million times, just get to work, and the mess will slowly disappear and you will be left with a straight coherent line of plot.

    The moment where you cut to the other shot of him lighting his cigarette felt so appropriate.
    Editing is about all being appropriate that's why it's an invisible art !
    Thank you Kris !

  • @dundeedolphin
    @dundeedolphin 5 років тому +15

    You have done a great job here. Some brilliant tips. And some great skills.
    I offer the following in the spirit of stimulation and constructive conversation as you seemed to be trying to initiate discussion.
    You have far more technical skill than I do, so I tend to focus on other aspects. I use artiface a little less. And try to concentrate on real moments and real imagery. It's definitely not "better" than what you do, I am not saying that, but it is a diffetent approach. ( Often it depends on the client, and on the story, right?)
    For me it is all about the talent, the subject participant. It's about building a relationship with them and getting them to tell you their story. You clearly managed to do that. But here are some of my own tips and observations (from 25 years o factual broadcasting, production and storytelling)
    1. Get to know your talent. Spend time. Win their trust before you record anything with them.
    2. Getting them to share their story with you honestly and sincerely is the MOST important thing.
    3. Get to know your footage once you have shot it. .Really well.
    4. Make a paper edit. It's important to have a plan, even if you choose not to follow it.
    5. The story comes first. Not your clever idea. It's not about you. Sometimes you're best idea has to be binned. Only one question mattets: Does it work?
    6. On a similar note, do not get too attached to a single element because you spent a long time on it or because it was difficult. It's not easy but try to see the bigger picture.
    8. Less is often more. (Except when it's not)
    7. Real life and rral events often crystallize into a moment. Help you talent to identify those moments, then have them recall them and relive them for you.
    8. As well as paying attention to that kind of detail, don't lose sight of the big picture: the pacing and structure are crucial to engaging your audience and helping them to come on the journey with you.
    Thanks again for the video. It was really excellent. I really enjoyed it.
    I hope you don't mind me also offering my own views for your followers etc

    • @Kriscoart
      @Kriscoart  5 років тому +2

      Ga Wa love this! Great advice here and I agree completely. I think it’s important as you said to maintain the balance of getting really close to the story and becoming familiar while still maintaining enough detachment to make critical decisions that can improve it.
