Editing with new footage- Speed of shots

Some of my shots needing slowing down and speeding up either because they were too long, too slow, too fast, or too short.

I could easily change the speed in the 'motions' tab and all I had to do was change the percentage of speed. I had to mess around with a bit too see what worked the best. 

I wanted to alter the speeds as creating slow motion can be effective for drama, I feel it allows time for the audience to contemplate what's going on and prepares them for the next dramatic shot. I also sped up the shots of the setting shots, like the estate and the water as I wanted to keep that dramatic mood going but let the audience still see that this was the setting.
