Editing the prelim

The first editing of the prelim was very basic, we just needed to put the shots in order and make few adjustments. We added just a few effects that helped to fix some bits that seemed odd.

We put more attention to the editing of sound. First, in Final Cut Pro we selected the input and output points exactly where it starts and where it ends.

Then we export that to our hard drive.

We open Soundtrack Pro and drag the prelim to the storyline.

The bar at the bottom of the right side shows many options of different sounds we could add. We look for the ones we think are the most appropriate, as for example violins, pianos, drones, to create suspense. We can overlap sounds by adding them on top of each other. 

To add a fade in or fade out effect, or simply change the volume we can pick the tool of a purple dot and make the points in the purple line underneath the sound.
