CONSTRUCTION: EDITING

After we finished filming and recorded the narration, it was now time for the editing process. This was perhaps the most challenging part of the experience as it required a lot of effort, partially due to the enormous amount of footage that we had to get through. Some footage that didn't even make it into the final product included the scene in which Ular comes into the house with lots of shopping and exclaims "hello my darlings".  However, we cut this all out due to this footage seeming like unnecessary "padding" and would've added nothing to the film.

We also had to inset intertitles for dramatic effect. For these, most of the titles would feature religious connections. These included some of the ten commandments such as "thou shalt not steal". This is so that we could emphasize the religious connotations that were seen throughout the trailer.
The main editing software that we used was Final Cut Pro. We found it as an extremely effective as we were able to add many different effects that would help improve our trailer. For instance, some scenes such as the moving in scene, there was some shakey cam. Luckily, with Final Cut Pro we were able to sort this out as there was a setting which would decrease any shakiness to the footage.
