Editing Software's we used initially was Clip champ and overall we used Cap cut later on.

 

Initial Phases of Editing by Clip-Champ;

  

Initially, we edited the video in Clip-Champ, focusing on smooth transitions and realistic sound effects. 

For instance, the opening of the clip features a cross-fade with a sound effect of a door being opened, giving the scene an authentic diegetic feel. In between scene transitions, a fade-to-black was used together with sound effect of a closing door, which was where the background music had started. One memorable touch was a close-up of the protagonist's tapping fingers slowly moving into an extreme close-up of his eyes through a cross-blurring transition and a gentle pan.

Set into the sound design of the story is a stab for the scene where the protagonist tries to draw his knife, followed by another where he stabs a picture. A cross-fade transition executed with some naturalistic stabbing sound effects was used here before going into a fade-out. Following the stabbing, we shot a close-up of the knife in his hand, walking sound effects introduced as he approached the bound man in the background, again emphasizing the stabbing sound effect. The film fades away in another cross-fade, revealing the man trading places with someone else. Another throat-cut is cut to the title sequence and credits.

Reworked Phase of Editing by Capcut;

Despite everything, the very first edited video was rejected. According to our advisor, it was too short, lacking in extra scenes, and his expectations concerning the end credits and the background music (which was a snippet from Squid Game) were not met. Thus we had to re-edit the film again on Cap-Cut. 

The new version was to retain all the clips assembled before, only this time, some were removed from sound effects, original background music, and the end credits. Instead, there was a new background known as the 'Jaws'-the main theme (with extracts, not the whole song). Texts presenting the cast and crew were further added in a font called 'MODERN,' having a fade-in for entry and disappearing in a diluted animation. Next, another text unveiled the name of the film in a font called 'Caslon,' followed by a 'zoom out 2' animation. Then there were added some voice-over and other sound effects-a door opening sound. These sounds were faded in and out through keyframes, reducing volume gradually from 9 to 3 in order to ensure a precise separation between them and the other diegetic sounds, such as footsteps on concrete or sound of a door closing. The sound of fingers tapping and, in the middle of it, a voice (which was recorded at the volume of 234) fit right in; as I moved on with the scene, I adjusted the sound levels in the same way by increasing the volume from 3 up to 9 via keying, heightening the emotional gravity throughout the scene. Just after the knife sliding sound was added with a stab sound effect, the next keyframe handle moved the volume down from 9 to 2, which emphasized reinforcing background effects such as footsteps on concrete and thus adding layers to what the character does. In the scene-where-in-the-stabbing-occurred, a succession of sound effects elevated tension: stabbing sound-in-and-out heavy breathing-a heartbeat-a throat-cut sound-tinnitus effect. The sound volume ranged from 100 to 310. Text was also contrived to finish off the scene and tell the background story, and we used the "MODERN" font." This film had no color correction or color grading.

This re-editing process refined our storyline continuity and ensure that every detail-from the visual to the audio-was working together to produce an engaging cinematic experience.

Audios Used;

The main background music was used from the main theme music of the movie Jaws.

The rest of the sound effect and audios were taken from the website Pixabay.
