The Edit

The editing process went alright but our teacher insisted on doing some editing to make it smoother and look more professional, which he did a good job at doing. First we needed to import the film we had shot so we did so. Then we put into the editor and started to cut away at parts we didn't need until we had our film the way we wanted with the dialogue in the right order. The editing done by our teacher made the audio of one shot come in before the shot had changed which made it more professional and smoother. Once we had our basic editing done of just your basic jump cuts, we had to put on the black and white visual effect on the flashback scene then we went down to the film studio to record the voice for the flashback scene. We recorded what we needed in little parts and put it in sync with the video later. Also, transitions between each shot during the flashback scene were just flashes of white. So now we needed to add titles so we added in the names of the actors during the beginning of the opening sequence. At the end we added in the title card, production and other actors like the mob boss goons. As a final edit, we added in background music throughout the film and changed the music at the ending to slightly upbeat, yet silly music which went very well with the ending.
Finally, the entire project was way over 2 minutes so we had to cut a lot of it out. The finished project is now around 2:15 in length instead of its original length of over 3 minutes. We couldn't cut any more out otherwise it wouldn't make sense and it would ruin the entire thing plus also making it a terrible way to open a film.
