Editing

Editing: To edit our opening sequence called 'Wrong Turn' we used the programme final cut pro, we shot our movie around November time, and started the editing process in January, final cut pro made it easy to edit and put together our opening sequence.  



As shown from the screenshot above, we used a low angle to show Oran Swales, we used this angle as it made him look inferior and even in danger. Videoing behind a fence, emphasised the point that Oran is currently being watched, and something bad could occur soon to him.
















As shown from the screenshot above, we filmed Jamie West in a POV, point of view. We used this because we thought this would have a big effect on the audience, as it makes it realistic, and puts them in the shoes of the actor, which increases the intensity.

As shown from the screenshot above, this is a flashback, which only the audience can see. We used a black and white effect, to make it seem like the actors in the film do not know this has occurred or will occur in the future, making only the audience know.

As shown from the screenshot above, we wanted to film a close up to zoom closer into the close detail of Oran Swales dead on the floor with the blood right next to him. This gave us the opportunity to zoom into the close detail of the film, and increase the tension caused for the viewer.















As shown from the screenshot above, we filmed Oran Swales slightly hidden by a tree, filming through some trees emphasises the point of someone watching him, this makes him seem in danger as well. We made the camera pan and shake to mirror the weather and windy background.

Music: To create the background music we put together different sounds using Garageband.

As shown from the screenshot above we put together many different beats in order to find the perfect sounds to build up the tension to mirror when one of our actors is walking towards the shed. Some problems I found when putting together this music, is the fact we wanted the sounds to be much slower as we wanted it to be the same speed as the action in the opening sequence.






















We added the different sound effects on Final Cut Pro in order to make our opening sequence more realistic with the different nature type sounds, to make the opening sequence more realistic. As you can see from the screenshot above there are 1,337 different sound effects, that really did help as we were struggling to find the right types of realistic natural sounds on GarageBand. This gave us the flexibility to try different things and even put together different background sounds.










                                                                                                 









From this screenshot you can see the different categories of different sound types. We used synths and bass to put together our music as we thought it best mirrored the build up of the walking of the victim. This would've built up the tension for the viewer as it increases the tension through the sound. At first I did find it hard to put together the right sounds as there's so much variety and choice, however after more practise, I found it much easier as the different categories helped with this.
