Thriller Task- Editing

Lesson 13- 9/3/10

In today's lesson we carried on with the editing by finding the first clip that would appear in our thriller opening sequence. This was an establishing shot which was filmed several times and lasted over 30 seconds. We thought that this time was too long to establish the scene so decided to cut out the last 10 seconds out. This would give enough time for the audience to recognise the scene before they get distracted from the opening. This software enables us to cut parts out of the clip that are not needed exactly to our preferences. The next clip that we edited was the close up of Character's A feet walking, we had to adjust the colour as the clip was quite bright. We went through each clip as a group deciding where to cut when appropriate. On the over shoulder we saw that the sun light was too bright, this caused the clip to look too bright in contrast to the others clips. This stopped the opening sequence from flowing and we were concerned that we had to re shoot the particular clip. But by adjusting the colour we yet again over came this problem. We went through each clip repeating this process of cutting down the clip and adjusting the audio. As all three of us are very opinionated and wanted this opening sequence to be the best as it could be. We would sometimes disagree on the clips, but would offer our ideas of how to improve.

Next lesson we will carry on editing as we have now edited just over a minute of film for our opening sequence.
