This was our first try at editing the film. As I was the only member of the group with editing equipment, I edited the sequence and then received feed back from my group on how to improve it. By this point we had not filmed the second part of our Thriller in which a man will be watching the police on his screen. This was simply an edit that gave us an idea of the footage we had, how it could be used, and what else was needed to complete the sequence.
Good Points:
I was extremely happy with the opening of this sequence as, with the flash of the camera, the fades to white worked and flowed well. We had enough footage to make some good transitions and the most of the sequence flowed well with only a few jumping edits. Unlike last time, the sound was much better which meant that our sequence would not need subtitles again. Finally I am very happy with the mise-en-scene as the use of crime scene tape and the way in which we dressed and did the make up of the actors enhanced the storyline making it look more professional.
Bad Points:
As just a rough draft, the transitions, as mentioned before, are not all flowing - some jump making the sequence look unprofessional and the last shot of the webcam is slightly shaky. We had not tried to add any music but clearly this would be needed to increase tension and suspencse. The main problem that we found was that the scene was not interesting enough. Because of this we decided that where the titles are now (as the camera flashes and fades to white), we would put a flash back of the girl's death. This would engage the audience more and also give our group the chance to use a wider variety of shots.
