PRELIM - Editing

Editing; 

Once all of the filming had been completed, we started to edit our shots together. To do this, we used Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. We edited the footage in order to make everything fit together smoothly. We added effects, trimmed the clips added sound effects as well as adjusting the existing ones, we also added non diegetic sound when and where appropriate. We added straight cuts and transitions to make the final footage look as professional as possible.
As a group, this was our first time editing, so our first problem was actually working with the editing software efficiently and productively. We did this by asking for advice from the teacher, as well as students who were already familiar with the editing software. By becoming familiar with the editing software during the preliminary process, I hope this will make it easier for me to edit my final task for my coursework.

One problem we faced when editing our prelim was that some of the footage was slightly blurred, and so this footage had to be deleted in order to make our piece the best quality. Some of the footage was not continuous, which was also a problem, however this was easily solved by using the 'trim' tool in the editing software. This acted as a lesson that i shall learn from when editing my Thriller, as i will need to gather more than one footage for each shot, this can be done by repeating scenes more than once, which could lead to getting a successful and continuous thriller without cut backs, making the narrative flow, and the piece as clean as possible.
