Editing the Thriller for our Preliminary Task

All the editing Izzy, Sam and I did for our preliminary clip was done on a software called Adobe Premiere Pro. The software wasnt as hard to use as it looked and after sir had explained the basics to everyone we got the hang of it. Even though none of us had used this software before it was really easy to learn how to use it and we all had ago at editing our film which has helped prepare us for our main task. Because we all had a chance to edit the filming we had done we was all happy with the outcome of our final piece. When we first started editing all our clips were already in the correct order which made it alot quicker for our group however when we had cut all the clips down to the parts we thought were best we realised they didnt go from one another very well and they didnt fit together smoothly. This wasn't a big issue as we found transitions that we used to connect them together better which meant the viewer wouldnt see which clips were filmed seperately as they all fit together very well. When editing we also added a sound base of ambience sound which we had filmed to the background. Because of this it meant we had to lower the background noise which meant certain sound efffects couldn't be heard aswell as we had hoped. So to make the sound more effective we found sound effects on a copyright free website and used these to create more tension and suspense within the clip and to also make it more interesting for the viewer. After adding the sound effects our final preliminary film was finished and we was all very pleased with the outcome.
