Editing

When it came to making our film, we included a range of different editing techniques. For example, we edited in the eerie music from the brilliant thriller Memento. Also, by adding in the Seinfeld theme when the phone rings, we get a contrast between seriousness and comedy.

We used various camera shots when making our opening sequence as we believed that it would show we had a greater understanding of editing in general. Some of the shots included:

- Tracking shots

- POV shots

- Extreme close ups/close ups

- Establishing shots

- Wide shots

Our opening sequence consisted of continuity editing. We did this by putting the scenes in a certain order so that not too much information is given away in the first couple of scenes. For example, in the first shot, we see a man lying on the ground not moving. This will leave the audience asking questions as they do not yet know what is happening. However as the film goes on, the story begins to unravel, as well as the audiences understanding of the plot.
