Editing the OB was a much shorter process due to it needed to appear as live and being one consistent post for 2 minutes. However, it did require a lot of attention and tweaking. This involved...
- Added the intro/opening titles to the beginning to include our brand recognition.
- Using effects in Final Cut to improve on the sound so that it's clearer and cleaner.
- Improving on the exposure, saturation and colouring of the footage in Final Cut to liven it up and improve the viewing quality.
- Adding a lower third that remains throughout the footage with my own customisation for it say 'LIVE - Maidstone' due to this being the case with live broadcasts in all news programmes, as I have found in my research. I used the same lower third in the OB as the package to stick to the same theme and branding. I think the LIVE bar addition adds to the realism of the footage being presented as a live broadcast very well...
- Cutting down the footage to meet exactly 2 minutes to fit the time quota.
Final result
I think while the OB didn't require a large amount of editing and cutting, it has been greatly improved on and made more realistic as a live broadcast after the changes that have been made.
