Editing 1

When we started to edit first we looked through all our footage the peices in which we decided to use we added them to start our editing, we then cut all the bad footage out and put it all in straight cuts to make a rough cut, we did this instead of going into editing fully with transitions and stuff so that we didn't get confused this helped us so that we didn't make any stupid mistakes and so that ir didn't get to confusing.

When we went through all the footage we had to delete and cut out a lot of mistakes and retakes, this was mostly due to surrounding sounds for example loads of planes were flying and you could hear the sounds so this kept happening so we had to keep retaking the scenes that this happened in because you couldn't hear us. We then cut the useful footage down to the useful bits in which we needed which were cut into short clips. We then joined the clips all together with no effects, we did this so that we could see that it will all go okay together and there was no obvious mistakes for example once we done this we see that in one clip the door was open however it wasn't in the one before so we had to cut this down even more so that the door wasn't open. Once we sorted out all silly mistakes like this we had a simple running sequence in which was our rough cut. We spoke about this in our blogs and spoke about the rough cut.


Once we had finished the rough cut we started to add the transitions, music and effects and then began to play with it we also changed the order of some of the clips as we thought it looked more effective and so it looked better with the titles in which we would add in. This was our first editing session and we played around more with the start of the thriller, we also split the starting footage up so there was space to add the titles, we also realized we should have got more clips of the guy in the hoodie in the nature park scene however we decided to repeat this clip but add it in reversing this looked really good and you wouldn't even realize its the same clip.

The picture below is of us editing the thriller.
