Editing Day 1

Today, my main focus was deciding what clips were good to use and inserting them into imovie. After all the clips were inserted, I shortened them down and cut out the parts that were not necessary. When I finished doing this I realized that the scene was still too long, it was a total of 4 minutes and 27 seconds and I knew that I had to cut more out. After various minutes trying to figure out what parts to cut out I couldn’t decide because I felt that all parts were essential and didn’t want to discard anything. Therefore, I had a couple of my friends look at the unedited scene and asked then what parts they thought were unnecessary. When this process was done I was left with an unedited scene of 1 minute and 52 seconds. Once the time was reduced, my partner worked on the first couple of transitions of the scene. She decided to use the “Cross to Dissolve” transition because we wanted the beginning ifo the scene to be simplistic and create a calm and chill tone before and then have that be shattered by a scream.
