Having used premier pro for the majority of last year, I was already familiar with how to edit shots together to produce a video. I had to complete a lot of the editing in my own time because we wasted time re shooting shots that we had lost. The editing would have been less stressful if we had completed the filming sooner. However apart from that, I didn't have any huge problems with the editing process, as first it was difficult to sync the music with the videos, but thankfully the lip syncing task we had completed in pairs before required learning this skill. I found that when filming in the future we will have to ask our actors to fully enunciate their words when singing, to make it easier for us to match up the audio with the filming, and to make it look better and as if the person acting is really singing the words.
The zoom device of premier pro which enables you to zoom in on the time line clips and let you look at them in more detail, and essentially lengthen them was extremely helpful, often with the lip syncing either the music or the shot was only a millisecond out of time. To move the shot by one second was too much, so by being able to move the shot by literally quarters of a second, made the lip syncing far more accurate. The speed change tool also helped a great deal, as a lot of the shots were just too short to fit perfectly in with the music, by slowing them down the smallest account, it lengthened the clip, and was unnoticeable. Also some of the shots in the original video were in slow motion, for example when Matt dropped the pencil on the floor, the pencil falls and lands in slow motion, and therefore as you can not shoot in slow motion, I had to slow down the clip in editing using the speed changing tool.
