Rough Edit - "Opening to a New Thriller Film"
After myself and James filmed the majority of our "Opening to a New Thriller Film", James had a go at editing a rough draft.
We still have 2 or 3 more scenes to film so that the opening has a longer viewing time, as it is quite short at the moment at only around 1:25 minutes long. Also we need to take more care when trying to do tracking/pan shots as these contained very shaky camera movements. On the bright side, at least we have a few more ideas which we can film and hopefully expand the viewing time to around a target of 1:40 minutes.
We've created both a colored and black and white version. Myself and James have both agreed that the black and white version creates a stronger mood within the mise-en-scene and adds depth to our shots. We have chosen to use black and white from now on.
The black and white creates a dark mysterious atmosphere and setting then it did in colour. Because of this, we can relate our opening as a very strong intertextual reference to "The Third Man" because of the use of good chiaroscuro lighting and the use of a vanishing point along a pathway with trees either side.

This is only a brief rough edit to see what our film actually looks like. We've done this so that Myself and James can see what needs improvement and to visualize how we'd like our final outcome to look.
We hope to finalize our edit sometime in the near future, with the addition of a sound effect that consists an "answering machine sound/voice" for when the victim trys to call home or a friend yet gets no response, or even having someone call the 'victim'. We hope this will add more tension and suspense to the opening.
We may also cut and edit clips to be either included or not, plus any re-shoots which we need to do and with the additions of any new scenes. These will be included in a second edit which will be uploaded sometime in the future.
