During editing the prelim I learnt various different things which I will put into practise when filming and editing the thriller. For instance, we had to check in and out of final cut pro. Firstly we watched our shots then put them in order, then cut them down so they ran smoothly into one another. However due to continuity this proved very difficult and we learned that we had to plan all the shots we wanted to do. I also learnt about log bin, which we put all the useful clips in, as some clips were accidental and were useless.

 However I really enjoyed editing as it was interesting to see how much better a scene was than just watching it all as a wide shot, close up on faces and closing doors made it more intense. Sometimes we didn't need to use the lines in a shot, we could just zoom in on a persons face, for instance when someone turns round to see who is coming through the door, we know they are scared without having to speak.

I found it fairly difficult to put the shots in order and I had to keep referring to the first wide shot that we did, as many of the other shots were just one line from the script. I also found it difficult to cut the shots down to fit with the next, to make a story board, and we had to be careful not to overlap lines. 

 If I could do it again I would would put everything in order before starting to edit them. If we had planned out what shots we were doing for each line it would have made filming quicker and editing simpler. 

As a team I felt we worked well together, we each took it in turns to take control of editing but we all imputed equally.
