Construction: Editing- Day 1

This year we had to step up and do more advanced editing and incorporate more effects to make our video stand out and get more marks. Today I am editing the beginning of the film, so I'm editing the bit with me and Ade at the funeral where Ade places the flower down. When I put it together it looked a bit too fast like she was throwing it down so i wanted to slow it down but i didn't know how to, so I researched it and learn how to do it, it was hard at first because I couldn't get the right speed but then i found the right speed that both me and my group liked, so here is how I made the scene go in slow motion:

To make this happen I to click on the clip that I wanted to make go in slow motion. 

Then I right hand clicked and clicked on 'speed/duration'















Then I used the mouse to pull the speed to the right which makes the clip longer which then makes it slow motion. Then once i was done I rendered the clip because when you don't it makes the clip look funny and unclear.





I feel like at this point that our filming is going very well which in turn is affecting the editing because I'm working with good quality clips and I think it's going to come out well.
