Editing Process

•We started the opening sequence with a fade in from black.

•Next, as our titles started to appear, we used a blurred and stunned effect to produce a sort of glitch effect on the titles.

•We then noticed that some of our scenes were brighter than others, so we used the brightness, contrast and colour balance tools to correct this and make sure that the brightness was more or less the same throughout.

• We had a scene where we wanted to make the music sound more like it was already being played, rather than being edited in. We achieved this by using reverb to make the music sound more like it was in the background.

• As the tension started to build just before the gunshots, we used quick and short shots to make the scene more dramatic.

• When the masked man barges into the room, we reversed the whole opening sequence so far and sped it up before ending it with the masked man pulling the trigger and a gunshot being heard. This was made to look like a flashback to make the scene look more dramatic.

• For the final scene, we used a black and white filter to make it clear that this was an emotional scene and that it was in the past.

• To make the tracking shot more dramatic, we brought the soeed down to 40%.

• Lastly, we made the title of our film appear for a couple of seconds, then had it fade out at the same time as the music in the background fading out.
