Editing The Thriller - Playback and Review

Editing The Thriller...

Today we finally got into the editing suite and began the process of putting our short sequence together. To begin with, we looked through all of our raw footage, and chose which shots looked the best for the first draft. One thing I noticed is that we had a lot more footage than I originally expected, meaning we had a lot of leeway to cut and be selective with our favourite shots. Having picked the best shots I then sorted the footage into groups on the timeline;

  1. Establishing Shots
  2. Stair Climbing
  3. Walking Across Car Park
  4. Inside Car
Following this, I began to edit some short separate sequences. This helped me get back into grips with Adobe Premier and also sparked some ideas of how we could cut the short together in more interesting ways. I ended up taking charge of the editing process, simply because I have had a bit of experience editing beforehand.

It  was a relatively easy process and didn't take our group too long. We all agreed on the shots we liked and the shots we didn't and soon enough we were ready to start making a first edit.
