The editing process

After we filmed our two minute opening sequence to our film, we uploaded it onto Final Cut Pro, where we were able to cut and edit the scenes into the two minute opening sequence.
We cut each scene to the sequence we wanted, added effects such as fade and cut, we then added the titles, which basically named the actors involved, who edited, wrote the script, did the camera work and added the music.
We then created a music sequence that we thought was suitable for the film and added it onto some scenes in the film. We reversed the music, when the flashbacks start, to show the characters state of mind, which is schizophrenia. When the main character puts his head in his hands we added some music to help build the tension and create a creepy/distorting effect.
We used slow motion in two scenes to help build up the tension and also to show the characters paranoia that he is being watched and also how he is hallucinating, thinking that somebody is there. The slow motion shot of the main character being watched was jumpy so we had to de-interlace it to fix it.
Some problems we came across whilst editing were, making sure each scene was rendered also the edits such as fading, as we had to make it look smooth and professional. Also a main problem we encountered was the sound in the speaking parts in the video became out of sync so we had to re-sync all the sound.
