Once everything was uploaded, we split the single long video into several sub-clips based on when the shots started and finished, and we labelled them according to what shot the clip was and what happened in it. This was very time consuming, however, it made it a lot easier for us to be able to see what shots we had and therefore to locate them when we wanted to use them. This also meant that it was easier to manipulate our timeline.
We then began to put the individual clips into the main timeline in the order that we wanted, using our storyboard for guidance, but we found it very difficult to stick to this strictly as we found that some shots we had wanted to use didn't work as we had hoped or were not good enough to use, and so we had to find alternative shots to use.
After we had put all the shots in an order that we were happy with, we started to add transitions and effects to the shots. This included slowing down footage to make the character of Hannah run in slow motion and make her struggle more evident to the audience. This also included editing the colouring in certain shots as well.
Next, we decided on what credits to include and worked out appropriate places for them to go and used the order we had found during our research to ensure that the credits we were included we sequenced in the correct order.
Finally, we put the music on our timeline which I had edited on a different software (Audacity) as it was much easier to use. We put this into our opening sequence and edited it along with the diegetic sounds to make a more tense atmosphere.
We produced two rough cuts for our opening sequence, the first was just of the footage and the second included the non-diegetic music and credits. We used feedback from this when we went back to edit each session to help make what we were producing as effective as possible.
Overall, I feel that our editing process was successful and we created a product that we are very happy with.
