Once we'd cut all the clips down to just the sections we wanted to use, we then ordered them into a chronological sequence, that then pulled together a 'rough' film opening, that made sense in terms of narrative and structure. In order to make our film more realistic (in parts), more dramatic, and appear seamlessly, we had to then alter certain elements. We began to speed up and slow down the timing of certain clips, in particular the flashbacks were we wanted to create a tense and exaggerated effect. The shots we had of young girls acting frightened we had to fit together into a 'flashback' montage, but found the time frames to be far to long, so we cut the clips, partly because of timing and partly because it seemed a lot more climatic when they were at a greater pace. We also began to work on our music, we took turns on who was controlling the editing as if we ever all attempted to do it at once it was too crowded and hard to accurately do. Once we'd all decided upon the major decisions, the other group members would explore garage band for music that could either run parallel to our shots, to create a dark and eerie feel, or could juxtapose our action, highlighting its extremity and the corruption of these children's youth.
