Editing skills

after we made our pracice films we had to edit them .The skillls in which i picked up are that you ccan cut and make scenes shorter and or slow them down to addd more effect. also you can use a clip more than once .However i found that when puting scenes together and can be a bit jumpy and so you have to be carefull how you end scenes so that when you put them togther you can have a film that runs more smoothly .Another thing that i learnt when editing you must be carefull with the lighting of each shot and so when there is not enough light you must make i lighter using the manual button on the camera so that the shot is not to dark and so there is not a dramatic difference between lighting in each shot .and so therefore once again your film will run more smoothly .
