To get the editing process started we began by importing all our final scenes onto the computer. We dragged them all from the cameras memory card into iMovie. When they had all been successfully imported we started assembling the clips into an order - trimming and splitting clips as we went. Being able to trim clips was extremely effective during the editing process because it allowed us to remove any unnecessary parts and ensure we were only left with the best that we had.
Next, we began to carry out basic adjustments to the sound of the videos. As we wanted a constant voice over throughout our entire opening we importing our existing clip of Evie reading the voice over script. We then began heightening and lowering the sound levels of the actual scenes - depending on what was happening in them had an impact on whether we thought the sound should be audible or not. For example in the print screen below; the first two clips sound have been lowered right down so they cannot be heard, we did this in scenes that literally had no sound (e.g. ones showing the surroundings) and ones that we wanted to be narrated (e.g. the one of Evie running) whereas in the following clips the sound has been heightened, we did this in scenes where the existing sound would have an effect on the audience and build tension (e.g. during the second clip of Evie running her heavy breathing can be heard - making the audience wonder if she will be able escape her kidnapper or if she will give up).
