Footage being edited

I am starting to edit the footage I have recorded. I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and I prefer this to using Final Cut Pro because I have familiarised myself with it and have better knowledge of how to work it. 
This is only a small proportion of my filming on the timeline, but the parts of I have filmed and edited have all the effects added I would like. There are a few things which I do not know, so I am going to have to use tutorials on the internet to understand what to do. I'm sure that there will be some changes during production; I get new ideas or feel something doesn't work, so if I have to change something, I do not have to pull apart the timeline and make too bigger changes to the other clips around it.

Health and Safety


During my filming, I will have many times in which there will be some hazards which I will encounter. For example, there are various hazards such as corners of walls and the stairs, where I will be walking up and down multiple times. The main hazards I will encounter however are outside. There will be some shots done in the garden and I will have to look out for things I could trip over such as plant pots and garden ornaments. The brick walls are very rough and the corners are also rough so I will have to be careful not to walk into them. I would maybe like to do some shots of driving and it is clearly very dangerous and illegal to do, so I am going to have to ask a friend to sit in the passenger seat and film me while driving, or set up the tripod on the back seat and have it looking through the front windscreen or maybe set up the tripod in the passenger seat and have it looking at me the driver. I will have to make sure that I am concentrating fully on what is going on around me while driving. The other additional filmer will have to be wearing a seat belt at all times, but apart from that, I am doing the filming and acting all by myself so I do not have to worry about anyone else being in danger of getting hurt.
