Editing the re-film of the Thriller

As we decided it would be a good idea to re-film, this obviously means that we will have to re-edit, although this was a time consuming task it will be beneficial for us to do this. As I had learnt valuable skills whilst editing the first edit, I began to edit the re-film throughout this week. I had previously used the software Adobe Premiere Premiere to edit the first time and this was where I had the skills so I continued to use this software for the re-edit. My confidence whilst using this program has grown massively and I have learnt a lot of skills. As seen in the picture above, all of the footage is imported by clicking on 'file', and then 'import' once on import you just select the files you want to import. Then it is a simple drag and drop process onto the timeline, you can edit each clip and add transactions or effects. Once I had learnt the simple skills I found it easy to create my thriller.

I managed to get all of the filming done of the weekend with help from Alex Redford (the ex-boyfriend). As I had done all of the filming it was a perfect time to begin the re-edit, I have work continuously on the re-edit this week in order to finish it for the deadline. The idea was the same as the first one but I had to change it slightly for maximum impact and for it to look effective. I have done all of the re-edit on my own this week, although I found this hard I worked very effectively to finish the re-edit. In the re-edit I learnt skills that I did not know how to do before I started, I learnt how to change the amount of time the transitions last for and how to add effects (looking through the eyes of the ex-boyfriend who is appearing to be drunk) I did not know this skills but they was crustal to learn in the editing process. Although whilst filming we was unable to stick to the storyboard completely, this was due to some of the shots not being as effective as we thought, we have adapted the storyboard to make it seem more effective and we have stuck we the ideas we initially had. 

This is Adobe Premiere during the editing process, on the left handside it shows how I added effects to our thriller and how I inported each part on the film onto the timeline.

I have found the editing process relatively easy and I am proud of the skills I have learnt and what I have achieved throughout this process. As I have finished the initial edit I needed to focus upon the audio side of my Thriller as this is the most effective way of creating tension towards the audience.
