Editing is probably the most important aspect of creating a film. While all parts are important, such as cinematography and acting, editing can take the same film in a million different directions. You can take a series of shots, and depending on how you put them together and what sound you use, they have the potential to become both a terrifying thriller or a jokey comedy. Editing takes into consideration color, sound, transitions, filters, effects, titles, etc. Without all these additions, the film would have a completely different mood and be void of meaning.

While our rough cut makes our movie look like we are just filming Jenna walk around, with editing it will be made obvious that she is being followed. Through the use of editing tools such as the Ken Burns effect and sound, Jenna will appear to viewers as incredibly vulnerable and easily susceptible to evil.

Sound especially will be very significant in our film in explaining the transition between when she is just a normal girl to when she is a predators next prey. It will also help to explain the change from daytime to night throughout our title sequence.

As an editing software for our film my partner and I are using iMovie. My partner will be the main editor throughout post production because she has owned a Macbook for several years and is well accustomed to how iMovie works.
