After we shot all the footage we needed for our preliminary task, the next stage was to go to the editing suite and put the footage together to make a scene which flowed well. We were introduced to 'Final Cut Pro' the programme we will later be using to edit our thriller.
In our groups, we were assigned to a computer. Our group decided to first look over all of the footage we had shot and decide which our favourites were. Matt taught us about the importance of bins. We were shown the 'log bin' where we put our favourite bits of footage to be edited and also the 'rush bin' where all of the footage is stored - wanted and unwanted.
Our group decided that instead of making our scene fast-paced, we would slow down the speed of conversation to add a sense of suspense. We managed to create this effect through our editing and the final outcome was very successful.
For me, the hardest part of adjusting to Final Cut Pro, was keeping the continuity of the scene flowing. For example, when making a cut from a wide shot to an over the shoulder shot and keeping the footsteps looking as though there is no break in the cut.
Above is our final edited version of the preliminary task
