Editing

To begin with, our group had thought up some ideas that we could use for our editing

For the start of our video, we got the intro for Twisted Pictures production company from youtube and recored our own verse from the childrens rhyme "Ring a Ring o' Roses". To Record this we used Garage band and got Jodie (Saskia) to sing it out. I then edited it a little to make it more echoey and a little more high pitched so that it would sound more like a young girl.  

This also leads to a sound bridge as the production company intro plays, following by the fading into the actual sequence.

For our starting scene of the shots of the legs, I put it in black & white and slowed the clip down a little to give it an effect of a flashback. I did this because it helps the audience to understand what is going on, and that it's not just some random shot that happens before the second scene.

I used a lot of fading onto a black screen for the titles because I believe it looks good and you're able to notice each title other than it clashing with the scenes, so your attention can be focused on both titles and the scene.

On this part of our sequence there was a jump between the two shots that was really noticeable. So I tried to edit it so that it wouldn't be as noticeable or so that the jump wouldn't there at all, so when it came to adding in the titles, firstly we agreed to just put the titles over the actual shot so it would show up as the sequence plays. but then I changed it so that the titles show up on a black screen and fade over into the shot. This effect got rid of the jump that we had in our sequence so it was really effective to add in.

The text for the titles we chose was Baskerville in red. We chose this because the font looks pretty sharp and thin, which I think gives a more thriller effect, and the red was an obvious choice because it's a typical code of a horror thriller film, being that it stands out and represents blood or something sinister.
The effect that we had on the title of the film as it rolls in is cross zoom from the scene and sideways drift as the text plays. The effect we had on the titles was soft edge. We chose to use these particular effects because they work well for a triller because fading and sharp motion is a good stereotype of horror.
