Editing Thriller

Today we captured our thriller footage and started to edit.
Our opening scene consists of showing I-dent which will then fade out and show the victim lying on the floor. We chose the Fade effect because it makes the transition between look a lot better. We then introduce the main character and show her writing down notes.

At first we had difficulties with the scene were the character walks to her car but we managed to crop and edit out the dolly in the background. We had to choose which angle the character was being filmed from as she got in the car and eventually chose an over the shoulder. The scene where the car shown going down the driveway needed to be darker. We noticed that the next scene where she gets out if the car it is night so it does not look as fluent. We managed to find a colour corrector to make the scene darker but still haven't found the right so the brightness keeps changing. We made small changes and managed to make the scene look right.

One idea that was changed was that we didn't have a suspect sheet but instead we had an article on the computer. At the end we noticed that the length of the opening was slightly more than 2 minutes so decided to either shorten a scene or cut them.
