Decision Making During Editing

Once all our shots were uploaded onto FinalCut, the group sat together & went through each shot. Once all the shots had been cut, we chose which ones we would use in our opening sequence.
The problem we encountered during editing was that our sequence was too long. To resolve this, we cut out several shots at the beginning & shortened others so the pace moved more quickly, making it more interesting to watch.
When we had cut the shots & made the sequence how we wanted, we started to add effects. We tried out different transitions & effects & chose suitable ones for our sequence.
I think the group worked well during the editing stage as everyone contributed ideas on how to improve the sequence.
