Construction: First Rough Edit





This is some raw footage of our opening to our horror film. It shows that we have implemented some key media/filming techniques like 180 degree rule, shot reverse shot and high/low angle shots. We  edited this raw footage to add a lot more continuity to make it seem like a real opening to a movie. In this footage we have tried to make sure it is already quite continuous so that it has match on action for when each clip changes. What we have made sure as well is that we have filmed it all as quick as we can so that the time of day doesn't effect the continuity within the opening. however we still need to add in sound of our own and the opening titles.

As you can see from this rough edit, the lighting is quite bright due to the time of day we filmed at. To improve this, we will look at some colour effects in the editing phase to get a colder and more horror like feel to the film. This could mean adding some blue and changing the input levels for black and white.

Music is another feature that needs to be added. This will add a lot more tension and suspense during the film which will make it more like a horror. As I researched my previous post 'The importance of sound', Sound is a key element to any type of film as it can affect the mood and atmosphere of it all.
