Summary Of Editing.

In the session today I had to edit my short suspense scene that I filmed with Jack and Anass. We used the storyboard that we made to help us organise the clips in premiere pro. This helped us save time in editing which then allowed us to play around with the crossfade setting within the program. It took us a long time to find out how to fade between scenes but we came to the outcome that you needed to hold cmd-d on the keyboard to insert a fade. We also had trouble with editing the text for the title but we eventually realised that we didn't have the text tool selected. In the end, we ended up with a clip that was around 40 seconds. The only editing that we actually did was the fading between the final scene and the title which added a softer touch at the end. I think that the only thing we could have done better was to kep the exposure settings the same on the camera to keep a darker more ominous feel throughout.
