Now that we have begun editing the video I have come across several problems as expected and had to think creatively in order to solve them.
1. The closing shot is very short and there is not time after she finishes her sentence that I can use but we have to include a half second fade to black at the end, so my solution to this problem was to use the razor blade tool to snip off the very last couple of frames where she isn't talking and then set the speed of the clip to 20% instead of 100% so it still looks like the video is playing in that half second fade to black.
2. I had cut my clips into subclips so I could just use the best takes of her answering the questions and not talking. Unfortunately I hadn't given them a countdown prompt to leave any handles either side as I was too nervous to think of it at the time so they are cut very finely with no time left of them not talking. This means for the opening question that I don't want to start the clip until the fade from black begins but there is a half second before that with no audio. Since I unfortunately picked up some load background noise, you can tell when the clip starts. To get around this I cut a very small clip of the audio where she isn't speaking and then duplicated it and used it to fill the gaps at the beggining and end when only black is showing.
