A level project: Editing/Behind the Scenes

I began editing almost immediately after the shooting sessions were completed. I was unfamiliar with the editing software i used (CapCut) which my father recommended to me as it was something he uses on a semi-regular bases, but luckily i am a quick learner when im interested in something so i got the hand of it fast. It was also a good thing that i did not have a vary complicated vision for the project. Unlike with something like a music video, a nature documentary does not rely on a lot of cuts or complex animated transitions. Because of this i stuck to using simple fade in/outs from one shot to the next as i wanted the reader to be immersed in the video but not distracted from the dialogue by the visual elements. A moderate challenge was finding how i could lair both audio and visuals, i found out that their are separate lines in the software one above the other and that i could place the stills/background music on these if i did not want them to replace the video footage and narration. For the background music i wanted it to be mysterious but natural, like something that would be playing in a forest with wild animals. I ended up settling on a free music track called "Ambient, Nature, Mystery" i found after around 5 minutes of searching throughout the audio section. The video and narration were of course both fully recorded by me (and i was particularly happy that my voice recording perfectly firt within the 5 minute requirement and so i did not need to cut or shorten it at all) however i discovered a flaw, I accidentally said 21% of romania used to be forests but i checked and it is more, I knew i couldn't just cut that part and replace it with me saying the correct percentage as the cut would be vary visible and i really did not want to record the whole thing again, so i just placed the correct percentage number on screen in the moment when i made the mistake and i called it a day. I asked my sister for help in adding the subtitles as i could not figure it out and she happened to be in town at that time. I am overall vary happy with how the editing process turned out and it was significantly less hard than i envisioned it to be.
