R+P Post 17: Our editing arrangements

We did most of the editing together, as this proved to work well when creating the animatic, and we could make all the large decisions about the opening sequence together. We used Adobe Premiere Pro to edit on, because it has a visual time line, and allows you to have two playback screens: one showing the raw shots, and one showing the edited shots in the time line. This was useful, as it meant we could really easily pick out the parts of the shots we wanted, and it made it easier to choose the best take(s) of each shot. The software was also really useful for our sound editing, as we could edit the asynchronous music to fit with the visuals, and change with the narrative. It was useful in the same way for editing synchronous sound effects such as the sound of rustling bed sheets, and an alarm clock going off.
