Editing 28th March

Today our group edited together the clips of the detective scene. With the use of three cameras, we had to make sure we didn't break the 180 degree rule with our editing. So far the editing of these clips looks really good, as the flow and use of distances add to the intensity of the interview. What's more, this footage really contrasts the next scene, adding more drama to the kidnapping. The music also adds to this as it begins as soon as the next scene starts. This adds the 'thriller' convention to our film as other groups have also said the idea and filming add a tense atmosphere.

We have also (with the help of our teacher) come up with a new idea for our titles. Our choice in music has occasional thuds, so we thought we would make the titles judder to add to the chilling tone. At the moment however, we have to think carefully about the time we have left to add this in. Hence, this idea is very time consuming as we would have to add separate key frames making the movement more clear and realistic. Nevertheless, we are still going ahead with this idea due to the titles lacking excitement and meaning. An example of this is the film Se7en:

Summing up, the editing so far is going well we just need to make sure with our filming tomorrow we complete the following:

• newspaper scene with Luke in study
• new footage of Luke walking up the stairs (not wearing socks- makes his character more cold)
• adding dialogue in the Luke and Charli scene
• filming Charli's leg and upper body for the beginning titles
