Thriller Sequence Edit

After reviewing our footage from our thriller shoot, we separated the shots that we wanted, from the shots that had less important content, or mistakes within it. We dragged down the rushes we wanted onto the timeline, in a chronological order, to avoid confusion, while saving our work using 'command S'. After previously having a few lessons using Adobe Premiere Pro I was already fairly familiar with the software, and knew the basic techniques required to use the program. We created a bin for the collection of rushes that we wanted to use, and named the folder 'Thriller rushes'. We watched our clips through and made a brief outline of which clips we thought would fit within a certain part of the scene. We firstly organized the rushes in order of shot style. For example, we started by organizing all of the 'mid shots' into the bin of shots that we could use.

While we may have had the correct shots, many of the sound clips accompanying them had us shouting. We had to uncouple the sound clips, then delete them. We used the razor tool to cut out the parts of clips that we could not use.
The order of our clips was vitally important in creating a coherent opening sequence, we felt that dragging our clips onto different levels in the timeline helped order our clips, so we would not mix up the clips, and so we could zoom in using the + and - buttons to focus on just one of these clips, when we needed to fine-tune and cut a specific part of it.
We had problems creating a sequence that was long enough, overall, after editing all of our footage our clip reached around 1:40, we needed to find a way to make our sequence longer. We decided to make our titles appear against a black background which gave us the 20 seconds that we needed, however, our titles had to carry on within the beginning of our scene, we moved the titles to the far corners of our sequence, so nothing was derived from the original clip.
