The editing of the questions

While in the process of editing, I noticed that many questions were asked in a manner that could come across as verbose, a bit too indirect. Sometimes the odd stuttering came up as well, and this did not help in terms of time. In fact, many questions that could have been asked in 2-3 seconds sometimes took closer to 10 to formulate. This happened also because of the informal atmosphere we wanted to maintain with the people we interviewed: it allowed them to relax and be more open in their answers. Nonetheless, there was a need to save time to stay within the 10 minutes limit. Therefore, the following editing decision has been made: in the documentary, the questions would be written on a black frame in white text. This way, the viewer can read the question in its clear and direct format, and still get the answer obtained with the informal approach. The question would stay on screen for around 3 seconds, enough time to be red comfortably, and it will be followed by the answer footage, edited and cut were suitable to respect the time limit. In fact, every interview we got was at least 7 minutes long therefore some cutting was imperative!
