Editting our final shots

On the first day of half term, our group came in the edit our thriller. We managed to finish most of our editing within a couple of hours and this was because we had a wide range of very effective and useful shots. We have included several uses of math cutting e.g. when I open the door and when I walk down the stairs. Our editing is smooth and our camera work is very clean. We also have use of shot reverse shot between Corinne (me) and the intruder (jordaneTo show a passing of time we included a transition cross dissolve, this looks non-naturalistic but effective. We will be having credits that run over our thriller because we have already exceeded our time limit by a few seconds.

We stared to think about the type of credits that we would want to use and also the type of soundtrack which we would like. As we want our thriller to be ‘thrilling’, we would like to create a piece of music that builds in tension whilst complimenting the action on screen. In terms of diagetic sounds, the camera managed to pick up a lot of the natural sound e.g. water running, the sound of my jewellery jangling and doors creaking etc. We will be using many of these diagetic sounds in order to help heighten the tension and make things look and appear real and natural.

Next, we will be focusing on the soundtrack in detail and inserting the credits to our thriller.
