Editing is essential towards our opening sequence as it is conventional towards a thriller. It helps create effect towards a certain scene and helps convey towards the audience that something bad is going to happen.
Reaction shot
This is used to show fear and anxiety feelings that the character is experiencing in that particular scene. As the relationship evolves between the audience and the characters, the audience then start to sympathise and empathise more when the protagonist is in trouble or danger. This shot shows clear faical expression from the characters involved. This is going to be used in my opening sequence regurally, nearly every scene to represent shock and surpise. As in almost every scene, the victim quickly becomes frightened, and then using this a lot will then clarify the paranoia she is currently witnessing. I think by using this technique will show effective and creativity within my first opening sequence of a thriller. (use example)
Filters
Filters is used to show mood of that particular scene, letting the audience become more familiar within the frame of mind that the characters are experiencing. For our opening sequence, filters will be used during flashbacks to show more of an effective, severe past event in which the is main character (Brittany) traumatised by. We will produce dark colours to represent a low key lighting, which is conventional towards a thriller film, making it an effective piece. By using dull colours, like black and white, interprets towards the audience that it was a past event haunting her towards the present day. Darker colours are impressive as they can then foreshadow the danger or death of the protagonist 'Carol.'
Timing of shots
This type of editing style includes slow and fast editing. By using slow editing, shows the audience of more of a tense moment and then creates more of a shock when the most dangerous part of the scene happens. By using fast editing, clarifying the panic the character is feeling at that moment. This editing style is exceptional for conventions of a thriller of 'shock, surprise and suspense.' This technique will be used throughout the sequence in various different example, for example; slow editing in first flashback when she is in her house, watching a movie which starts the scene with slow editing, this then pro-longs the clip building suspense and tension. It will then gain pace of editing when the scene becomes more anxious. The editing will increase when the victim (Brittany) notices the stalker (antagonist) watching her within the scene. This is a build up of an alarming situation and creates more of an impact when the most thrilling part of the scene has happened
Jump cuts
This is when the film suddenly focuses on something. This technique is effective as it allows the audience to focus on the intended thing without any distraction. This method of editing is going to be used in the opening sequence Inbetween each of three flashbacks, which enphasises upon the link between the emotional devastation each flashback has commonly given to the victim, Britanny. This will also help build a relationship between the scenes, allowing the audience to feel more comfortable and involved.
Editing styles will be useful towards my opening sequence as it will add effect towards a certain scene. Editing styles allows the audience to see the clear emotion that the character is expressing. This allows the audience to creat more of an understanding towards the narrative, making it more effective as a whole. This will also allow us as a group to provide all the necessary parts towards the media product in which makes it quick and leads more suspicion.
