First day of editing Silent Temptation: Trimming clips & adding filters

Today, we started editing our raw footage.
And in this lesson we deleted all the clips that we didn't want so that we were left with the ones we needed, from here we started trimming the clips so that they started and stopped where we wanted them to, and finally we added a black and white filter over the top of the clips all the way through as this is a typical convention of film noir, however with the scenes that have been filmed on Elm Hill we wanted it to look a bit darker so that it looked like nighttime but after a long look around the software we couldn't find anything that would help us do that, so we decided to change the timing so that it would be set in the early morning at 5am.
This is image is an example of what the rest of the opening scene now looks like after the first lesson.

We are very close to our final edit of the rough draft which we will show to a focus group so that they can tell us if there is anything to improve, to add or to get rid of.
