Here is a a video of our editing process :
I personally edited a lot more in our final piece than our preliminary investigation and made significant improvements because of this.
Visually-
what we done:
- stabilised footage
- added colours in order to appear darker and sister
- adjusted lighting
- music
- blurred footage
- sharpened footage ect.
Titles and credits-
what we done:
- placement of our credits , correlated to that of other famous thrillers e.g. Gone Girl
- faded them in and out - so were not the complete focus
- Type writer font - to create mystery
- Our film title sat in the middle in order to be different and stand out from the titles
Soundtrack/Audio-
what we done:
- we had an idea of what the 'perfect' thriller opening would sound like
- we could not find a track that suited what we envisioned
- therefore we created it ourselves on garage band.
- As well as adding in a second track from Soundcloud to make the contrast and show the apparent time difference.
Preliminary comparison to our final product:
In our preliminary we were very pushed for time and did not have a lot of time to plan, not only this but we had never used the cameras before and neither one of us had experience in filming such things. As a result our piece was quite unsuccessful.
Where as for our thriller opening we had much longer to plan and more experience with the camera , we were able to learn from what we had got wrong previously and as a result were able to make a more successful piece overall.
As a result of the time we were given we had more time to edit giving the reasons our thriller opening was so successful as we achieved match on match action and were able to hold up the aspects of continuity editing which created verisimilitude throughout our piece.
