I found the task of editing 'pen friends' quite difficult because their was a lot of clips to choose from and we was not sure which ones would be best. When we finally chose our clips the process seemed quite straight forward as we have experiance with the final cut pro software.
The preliminary task made the process of editing our final film a lot easier as we knew what quality we wanted our final film to be. We improved in several aspects such as using the different tools on final cut pro and the different filters and effects.
Towards the end our our thriller opening we created the split screen effect by over lapping two clips, this showed the victim looking out the door as the villain was walking past i think this created tension in our thriller.
When we created our rough cut the running time of our thriller was 3 minutes and the time of it was meant to be 2 minutes, so we had the task of cutting it down. We found this difficult as we thought all the bits in our opening was vital. But as we started to cut it down we realised that cutting it down made our film more slick and it was more effective as i think it created more tension. We also shortened some of the clips again I think this made our film run more smoothly.
If i had to edit my film again i think i would or experimented with more filters and effects such as negative. Due to timing we did not have enough time to experiment with these effects, but I still think our film served its purpose as a psycological thriller as it made our audience think about what was happening in the film.
