Editing and Soundtrack

Upon completion of filming our thriller, we decided to head straight into editing the piece and creating a soundtrack for it. We planned to do this by separating our group in two in order to maintain a high level of efficiency to achieve our production deadline.
One half of the group started on the editing while the other half started to create music for our soundtrack which was crucial for our piece as it was the vital element to give the thriller a much more professional look.
However, there were many adversities that we came across in both editing and the soundtrack. One of the problems in the editing stage was that in one of the point of view sequences the shadow of the camera and the actor were caught in shot, but even though we tried to cut it out it was not possible because it broke the continuity.
The other problem we had was creating a soundtrack. Although it was good it was hard to create a soundtrack for our piece as we created it on a different computer, therefore a lot of guesswork took place. Once we had finished editing our rough cut, we sent our film to the other computer making it possible for us to fit the soundtrack to the film.
