Editing session 4

On Monday we had our most recent editing session and my group and I have come to conclusion that we need to come in and edit during our spare time, because we don't have a lot of time till we need to send off our coursework. There was something different about this editing session compared to others, this time we were actually quite productive with getting the last scene completed. Although, our editing process is slow, but it is definitely coming together and the final product will definitely be worth the time.

Ashen had a great idea of supposedly 'saving' our product, during our shoot we all had the idea of making the beginning of the sequence pitch black with a voice over. Since we shot our thriller quite a while ago, I had forgotten about the idea itself. Ashen proposed the thriller to still start off with a black out, voice overs and titles. This would be a good way of introducing the whole idea and it increases the levels of hysteria and panic at the beginning. After that we will have our shouting scene and the scene when the guy takes the brief case from the van. During the material that we shot, we will have a voice over from the guy who takes the brief case perspective. Haydon and I wrote the script for the voice over when its pitch black, and Haydon wrote the script for the single voice over during the whole sequence. We were also thinking of having freeze frames introducing each of there characters in the van, this could make the whole sequence a lot more interesting and bring a flavor to it. This is an adaptation from Snatch.


Below is an example of the freeze frames that we were thinking of recreating:
