Editing

To edit our sequence, we used Adobe premiere pro which allowed us to edit on multiple tracks.

Many of our shots were cut so that they were fairly short to ensure a constant pace throughout the project. There were very few times when we added in effects between shots, we mainly just cut from shot to shot. The reasoning behind this choice is because we felt that adding in an effect would detract from the scene and we want the intense emotions in our scene to be maintained.

 So that we had a guideline for shot length, placement and the placement of our titles, we used a feature on Premiere pro enabled us to lock the tracks containing the original positions and gave us a template to use for the rest of our editing sessions. This was very beneficial, because it allowed us to edit our sequence without every member of our group being present as the general positioning of things in the sequence had already be predetermined as a group.

The responsibility for editing was shared equally throughout the group, unfortunately due to timetable constraints it was increasingly difficult to all come together and edit as a group. Fortunately for us, we took full advantage of the editing slots which took place both before and after school, spending many mornings and evening working together as a group and each having major contributions to the way in which the sequence was put together.
