After our previous day of editing, all our clips were now in order and ready to be effect edited put to music. We all decided that putting frames to the beat of the song was SUPER important in order to create a professional film which was easy to watch. Final Cut Pro allows 'markers' to be added to an audio track which in turn allowed us to ensure frames were shown exactly on the beat. We had decided at the beginning of the film planning process we all really liked the effect of glitch transitions which was advantageous when fitting frames to the beat. Also the incorporation of long empty shots of either blank wall or blackness added to the eery haunted atmosphere we were wanting to create.

The main effects we added in After Effects were:
- The adjustment of light balance and exposure for the frames where lighting discrepancies were evident. Some of the subjects from the green screen series also had a slight sickly/green tinge which we needed to correct via colour filters. 
- 'Fun effects' which included reversing and repeating actions, as well as VCR glitch filters and effects which were crucial in establishing the intentional glitch nature of our film. 
- Extending our audio track. Unfortunately the total length of our music track was about 2:20 so I had to play around with audio editing and choosing sections of the track we would be able to seamlessly extend. I think we did an incredible job at this and not only is it near impossible to pick where we mixed the track, I think it adds tension to the song as it builds up towards the end. 

Throughout the editing process everyone worked really efficiently and effectively as a team. We all delegated different sections of the film to edit and discussed our rationale and processes together. This resulted in a very equal distribution of work load as well as equal input from each member. I think the excellent collaboration of all three of us was key in the creation of such a great film.
