Editing for our rough cut

When we attempted to capture our footage we encountered a selection of varying problems. First we tried on several separate occasions to capture our footage using adobe premier, but each time we encountered the same problem again and again. The problem came in the form of an error message which said 'Media Offline'. To try and solve this problem we tried all the conventional methods of dealing with a software issue; we turned the computer off, restarted it, open and closed the program. Due to our unsuccessful attempts to fix the problem we asked our teacher what was wrong, it turned out to be a problem with one of the software's default setting being changed preventing new footage from being captured.

Despite the minor set back that occurred we where still able to get a good amount of editing don; in this lesson we where able to use our variety of quick shots to build a tense atmosphere, these shots were further complemented by the use of snappy transitions which are frequently used in horror trailers. We also included the use of dips to black and a selection of different shots featuring the killer. However we all agreed that we certainly did not have enough variety of shots that included the victims of the killer. Although we had the quantity of high quality shots we did not have enough time to edit the shots into the production. unfortunately I was unable to help edit outside of school hours before the showing the class our rough cut due to a work commitment. Therefore it was up to Will and Lyle the other two members of the group to edit the shots together in order to produce a respectable rough cut for our film trailer to present to the class. The rough cut shown was enough to present to the class as the 'rough' cut but we were still far from producing and presenting our final product
