Prelim Editing

Our group edited with Adobe Premiere Pro, having not used it before we were able to pick up the technique relatively quickly with some help from the teacher. Everyone in our group had a chance to edit and everyone contributed ideas of how to improve or editing style. In our video we were sure to use suitable transitions between cuts to create a fluidity and make the editing look professional, as just a series of straight can appear to be jumpy and not smooth.  During the editing we didn't really have any major issues, the only minute problem we faced, was when we were editing in music and struggled to fade the music out slowly so that is wasn't just a blunt cut off. However, after playing with it we were able to fade the music out so that it fused well with the visual editing. I think that our editing was successful as we edited in the original 2 hours that we were given and managed to upload it to youtube without any complications. The only section that I wasn't particularly happy with was the light switch frame, as the editing was slightly jumpy and wasn't a very good example of continuity editing. Therefore in our actual thriller opening I will keep this in mind, making sure that all of the editing throughout is fluid.
