Editorial Report #1 for Final

This blog will look at the editing process for the final project. In this blog I will take a section of my project and edit it to be the best section; in the meantime I will be looking at what I did and how the content/form changed from beginning to end. This editorial report will focus on the conclusion section of my video.

The content of this video did not change at all during the review process. I thought that the conclusion was an accurate breakdown of what actually happened in the project as well as being a good explanation of why writing was important to what I will be doing every day in my career. However these facts were all hinted at in earlier discussions of the projects, the conclusion only serves to summarize and solidify these ideas into one that people can follow.

The form of this video did change slightly. There were many gaps that I took out so that my sentences could flow better or more naturally. I also edited several sentences and removed unnecessary words or phrases that could be confusing or just out of place. There were a few times when I was splicing together sections that the end thought of one section would not flow into the other and I would miss it and leave a couple random words in the section. I tried to edit those phrases out.

Here is the Pre-editorial report version, and here is the Post-edited version. Note I edited a lot of this stuff before I even put the video together so there wasn't nearly as much work this week.
