We all were very excited when the day of starting editing process has come, (in few days after a shooting day) because every person in our team wanted to take a look at what we've filmed and managed to represent in our piece.
First of all, we learned how to sign in in Final Cut Pro which is an amazing program for good quality editing. Then we watch through all the clips and labeled them as BEST TAKE, GOOD TAKE and ALTERNATE SHOT to arrange shots in very clear and convenient way for further use, without wasting time.
Second of all, we dragged down the clips we'd chosen to the timeline of FinalCut Pro using IN and OUT keys to determine the lengths of every clip. Then we started to work on a structure of the thriller because we made some changes on the storyboard during the shooting day we couldn't follow it, and we needed to work on every piece of clip again to rearrange them as good as possible to create the right picture and tension we wanted to get previously. 
The next stage of our work was refining the audio and transitions between cuts, that took a long time, however needed to be done because of importance. We also used SoundTrackPro to add all the sound effects to create a thriller feeling and make all the actions natural with the help of the sounds, like door closing/opening, crowd voices.

We started with the corridor scene and as far as we began to see clear image of our story we added everything else.

In conclusion, as we finished all our piece, we started to work on the titles, this process was very easy, and after all the hard work didn't take a lot of time to do, and gave us a nice feeling that there is not much staff to do before we can relax and present our thriller. We had to make sure that the texts were perfect size and all in the same style. Then our thriller was ready to be exported through Apple Compressor in HD and after to be uploaded to YouTube and Vimeo.
It was very time-consuming, however exciting and interesting time, when I've learned a lot and now when feel quite confident in editing I'm looking forward to apply all my knowledge I've gained so far on my AS music video.
