Shortening Clips while Editing

At least all of the clips I had to shorten down and make sure it starts and finishes to the exact scene we need it as. The director would stand in front of the camera and give me editor signals on what scene and what take this is. Thankfully our cinematographer sent me all the good clips so I could have an easier time editing. Most of the editing process was through the help of my team to ensure we all agree if the film looks good.
