The editing process and difficulties encountered

We started editing by picking numbers of shot up that are needed for the film, there were lots of irrelevant shots but we had to go through every single second because we need to choose the best shot for the film. Finally, we had hundreds of shot that may be put into the final film.

Firstly, we chose some shower shots for the beginning to show the actor in close up, mid shot and close up with the handle. There are actually numbers of repetition of shots which are the victim in the shower, but sometimes it needs to be repeated before or after the killer walks along the corridor in terms of linking their relationship. However, we picked lots of useful shots and we always discussed what to put next before we do it to avoid any disagreement. We spent a long time on deciding the time when the killer is going to kill the guy in shower, we all had different opinions on which should be the first, what kind of sound do we need here, fortunately we figured it out in the end that when Chloe goes into bathroom, there is a close up on her face and then the mid shot to show her top, then the knife comes out to show her true purpose.
Also, the stabbing shots are one of the difficulties that we had to try lots of way to see which one is the best. Although this costs a huge amount of time, we believe that we should get the best shots for the film.
After editing, we began choosing any sound or music. We then agreed to put some really strong sound effect while she is looking at the knife and stabbing to the victim.
