Thriller Editing 2

Today we continued with editing together our opening sequence. Today we managed to finish the outline of our editing by cutting all our shots and music to the right length and putting it in the correct order. This meant we could get started on the time consuming effects of brightness, saturation and transitions and titles. I added in the 'dip to black' transition inbetween other footage and the photo pan and the 'cross dissolve' transition between the photo pan and other footage. We had a discussion whether our opening sequence should be a mixture of greyscale and colour, just greyscale or just colour. We finally decided that the whole opening sequence should be in greyscale. This will hopefully give the impression of a sinister detective genre format. The greyscale footage gives the opening sequence an unusual and unpredictable tone and hopefully will conform to thriller conventions. Next lesson we need to finish the editing process by adding titles and making small changes.
