Editing My Prelim

We used the software ‘Adobe Premier’ to log our footage onto the computer. This software allows us to edit our clip. We first watched the whole scene through looking at all the various shots we did from different angles, places etc. we selected the ones we liked best and used them to complete a scene, however we did not delete anything in case we needed to reference it later. We started by cutting down the shots so we could use different ones for different lines of dialogue that would match the sound. We grabbed the clips based on what they looked like and made sure that we included shot reverse shot, high and low angle shots. We also edited some parts of the clip that needed to be shorter and elements that needed it be longer for example the opening of the scene needed to be quick when he enters through the door because this is when the scene has the highest tension. We watched it through once we had edited it properly making sure there was no jumpy parts so it looked professional. I found editing difficult to edit because I’m very impatient. However I found that dropping the clip into the ‘storyboard’ and cutting down on clips easier than I thought I would.Below is the final clip of the prelim.
