Editing process

As the filming journey continues, my group and I have still not finished filming. We have about 3 scenes to film to be able to complete the movie. The scene where Emily and her friend go into the house, the scene where the mom makes Emily fall asleep with the tea, and the ending scene. As I begin my editing process, I am currently still looking over the scenes that I have to edit. I am not able to edit at this moment due to the fact that I am in a different country because of an emergency last minute trip. As I am looking over the scenes, I am writing down ideas to make the film more creative. Also, I am writing down what needs to be edited, for example, what needs to be cut out from the scene. One of my scenes is where the mom is sharpening the knvies. In my opinion, that scene needs to have a bit of low key lighting added along with creepy eerie music since those are dangerous weapons and it leaves the audience at the edge of their set. The next scene is the scene where Emily and Jane are sitting down on the swings as they talk. There is a part where the camera shifts and looks down at the ground which is something that needs to be eliminated. Also, as for sound, a kind of eerie type of sound would fit perfectlty as it portrays how Emily does not suspect a single thing but something very bad is about to happen. Certain scenes do not require much editing just the sound to be input into the scene and cutting out specific parts. One of those scenes is where the mom is fluffing the pillows. For that scene a suspense type of sound would be adequate as she continues prepping her sinister plan. Also, the scene empahasizing the tea kettle does not need much editing as it already even has sound. One scene that does require much editing is the scene where Emily and Jane are sitting on the playground taking selfies. The beginning of the scene needs to be cut out as the Hannah, the girl who is filming was talking. This scene was shot as a pan so a suspense sound would be the most apropriate as it gives a more creepy sensation. Soon I will begin editing my scenes and hopefully these techniques will come in Handy.
