Danielle's Contribution To Editing

I did some of the transitions myself some being fade to white and some being fade to black. Alongside working with Emma Brice we shortened the film overall because it was timed at over 3 minutes and it was too long. After a couple of hours working we shortened the film and put more transitions in being fade to black, fade to whites and just general cuts.
We also switched one of the scenes around because it collided with another scene and you could see that it was filmed at a different point, we found this worked because it made the production look more realistic.

When we finally completed our opening sequence we realized that we didn’t have any general conversation or anyone talking throughout, this made us decide that it was more appropriate if we did and it would make things clearer on what was happening. As a group we decided to do a voice over and it was shortly written by Emma Brice and Liam Jeffery and actually spoken by (acted by) Alex Oakley. We decided to do the short script as:
“Sometimes you’ve just got to change your plans…Guess it’s my lucky day”.
We found that this was appropriate because as a viewer you could see what was going through the antagonists head.

After the voice over was created we did our final piece of music. We found that it didn’t quite suit what we was looking for. We decided as a group that we would get someone else to make the music for our film. Stephen Scott who has a band made us our music for our film. He has a number of tracks located on a disk that we could chose from we went for a track that seemed more appropriate for our film. In a way it comes across and mysterious and creepy and that was exactly what we was looking for.
