During the editing of the sequence, I made sure to edit which shots we should add on the sequence and which others didn't make the cut out of the multiple shots that we left unnamed. I made sure to attend all the lunch meetings, school time meetings and after school meetings to help add the different shots into a cohesive order and cut the shots to the right length in order to give the greatest pace to the film that we were editing. All members of the group managed to put a good shift on the editing of the sequence and we were all responsible in giving feedback to each other and working well as a team in order to make sure that nearly all the editing decisions we made we made as a group. When addressing the problem of the boom mic on the reflection of the computer screen of the hacker's laptop to the media assistant Emma, she was able to teach me about how to crop out an area of the prior frame to layer and copy onto other frames in the sequence, so I was able to crop the area of part of the screen and put that layer on top of the area where the boom mic was in order to avoid an amateur mistake that was made when filming those shots of the hacker hacking. As well as this I was responsible for adding the music track 'the drive' from the Youtube Audio Library. I made sure to narrow down all the cinematic songs I liked into three of the best which I trialed out with the group on the sequence and we collectively decided that 'the drive' was the best song out of the three to suit the action-thriller genre and give dramatic energy to our film opening sequence. I also managed to edit the sounds of the characters dialogue in the sequence, for previously their talking was almost impossible to hear and so with a bit of work with the pen tool I was able to lower the sound of the track playing over the talking of certain characters and heighten there talking to the absolute maximum in order to make them audible and so help the audience understand the plot better.
