Editing session 2

Recently we had our second session on editing, it was hard to get use to the new laptops but thanks to some youtube videos we later got the hang of the new software. We started the lesson by making folders and placing our clips inside of them. From that we were able to put our best clips together.

Once we put our clips together we found out that the duration of the teaser was too long over 1:30 which is not good as from research we had taken previously showed that teasers are meant to be under a minute. We started to delete unnecessary scenes which did cut our teaser to 1 minute 10 seconds excluding the black fades and black screens, adding these would add valuabe seconds to our teaser. Our aim was to make our teaser at least 42 seconds

My colleague Nicholas came up with a very good idea; that the teaser should show the killer following his victims simultaneously, this will portray fear and mystery into our teaser. We haven't finished editing so we may need another lesson to continue.
