During the editing process, we used a few different techniques to help us work through all of footage. This included the razor tool and the mark in and mark out brackets. The razor tool helped us to cut up a single clip without deleting any of it, we used this when we needed to cut up the shots of Ewan marching. Next, the mark in and mark out brackets allowed us to cut away at a clip, until we were left with the section we wanted. We used this tool, for example, when Morgan and Monica were arriving, here we were able to cut away the unnecessary extra footage we filmed in the clip. Overall, we learnt how important these tools are in order for us to achieve the best possible result when cutting the footage down, therefore we were able to focus on only the necessary footage.
Also, we used lighting and speed/ duration effects, these enabled us to improve our first draft even further. We used the lighting effects to brighten up a few of the shots in the bunker that were a little too dark. This has improved the lighting and therefore has made the image a lot clearer. Moreover, we also used the speed/ duration effect to help us speed up a few clips. For example, a few of the panning shots we filmed were a little slow and so became boring. By using this tool, we were able to speed up these shots, until they were exactly how we wanted.
