After we finally had uploaded our footage onto Final Cut Pro, myself and Kate found ourselves just playing around with the software in order to get a feel for how it worked properly.
We discovered the blade tool, the zoom tool and the Ken Burns tool; all which was useful to our first attempt at Editing.
The clip below shows what we did on our first day of editing, despite it only lasting a few seconds and still requiring a lot of work, we did successfully use the colour board where we altered our saturation and colour contrast to make the footage appear darker and have a more low-key lighting. We also used a fast- cut transition to make the film appear to be fast paced and to build tension quickly. We overlapped the footage with a wind noise, as well as a composition which we found on final cut pro which happened to fit perfectly on top of our footage. I discovered the title sequence tool where you were able to get the film title to appear at any point of your opening seqence, however I was disappointed with the range of fonts which Final Cut Pro had to offer which meant we couldn't use a font which we had originally wanted to use. By the end of our editing we will hopefully be happy with our font and also have added in credits and more subtitles, etc. 
Overall we were really happy of how our first editing session panned out, and we now know what to do next time and how to use the software effectively.
