Editing our project

So far we have wrapped filming our video. We completed it within 2 days of filming. At 2 different locations. The next step is to edit. To edit we will be using iMovie. We have dumped and imported our footage. Our first step was to import the footage to see how much time we had to work with. We had around two minutes of footage to cut and add transitions to. Personally, I think this opened up our creative ideas. We were not stressed about how much we could cut to meet the requirements and if the transitions would affect our time. 
  For the second step, we started cutting out footage. We edited out all of the outtakes and mess-ups we had. Most of our cuts were just clipping off maybe one or two seconds of the clip. Most of our clips were around 6 to 8 seconds. Following the storyboard format. We also cut out the footage to have our transitions flow better. Our clips don't all have cuts in between them and have effects.  We overviewed different transitions to use. Some we use would include blurring and fading. These added smooth transitions in between shots that were in the same place as well as switching locations.
  Another effect we added was a fade to black. In our last scene the lighting switches and it's darker. So to end the scene we added a fade to black. We all agreed that it added a clean ending. In our editing, we included a slow motion. We achieved this by slowing down the time frame and cutting the clips. We also added music and fit that with the clips.  Our editing adds emphasis to the videos themselves and blends together. We silenced the clips and overlayed the music to match with the clips. Due to it being a music video.
