Editing process

So far, Lauren and I have made a rough cut of our film opening. We have managed to cut it down to 3 minutes 39 seconds. However, we still need to cut it further to 2 minutes. This might be challenging as we don't want to cut down too much as it wont make sense, however, creating ellipse would cut down some of the film and also still make sense to the audience.


We have started on editing the opening. In one scene Lauren and I both wanted to do slow motion when our character is walking in the park, to present isolation and a faint like experience. We firstly, split up the shot into small shots then gradually slowed it down and then sped it up. This looked really effective as she looks unstable and threatened.
Next we inserted our film ident and the certificate rating into the beginning of our film opening.


Next lesson will be putting sound on to the top of it, as well as voice overs. I think this will really add to the thriller as we can use sound effects that Flora can hear in her head. This will give the audience an insight to what she is experiencing and witnessing. We also need to add the credits at the beginning at the bottom of the screen.


Finally, we need to experiment with different tittles as I am not completely happy with our tittle font. We want it to be more dramatic and powerful so that the audience want to keep watching.


 At the moment all the editing has gone well and I am pleased with our film opening so far.
