Editing

After capturing our footage it was important that we moved straight on to the editing process in order to create the impressions and feelings that we wanted from our footage. For example, piecing certain shots and bits of footage together to create a fast past and suspenseful opening was a crucial aim of ours.

Firstly, we moved all of our footage from the camera onto final cut express, after this we chose fro,m the various pieces of footage we had which was over 70 separate pieces and cut it down to 23. In this process it was key that we chose the best and most applicable clips. for example we had various clips of Hayley turning on the tap early in the sequence and had to narrow it down to the one we felt created the most suspenseful atmosphere based on the lighting and character movements in each clip.

We added effects and transitions between clips to create the smooth flow of the piece and make sure there were no major jumps or mishaps. Once we had watched this through after inserting these we noticed parts were footage still jumped or overlapped, we then changed this and added the necessary transitions.
