Skills Audit: editing

After importing our clips we named each piece of footage and separated them into each sequence of shots. We then imported these files and edited them in final cut pro. To edit them we dragged the chosen shot onto the storyline and cut them to the length we wanted them. We also increased the speed in some of our shots to reduce the time of the whole opening. We did this for most of the first sequence of Sarah getting ready building pace and suspense whilst showing her 'every day life'.
The following scene uses more editing as we had to cut the footage of my character getting the drinks and Sarah waiting for me. This sequence also included a fade as i entered the kitchen to show a change in time.
In the next scene when Sarah drinks from the glass we edited all the camera footage of this significant part in the opening so that there was a collection of different shots. We also slowed down the shot of the Sarah drinking from the bottom of the glass to build tension within the audience.
