So this week as planned I have got my interviews filmed and I have made a start on the editing, I have edited them together however I want to keep editing so that I produce the best. I am really enjoying editing and filming and every time I am thinking of my documentary more and more ideas begin to come to my head... and then the next time I am free I am trying to film that idea so I can experiment with how it is in my documentary.

I have been looking through a lot of editing apps and came to find 'final cut pro' which I think will be the best app to use.
