Editing Progress 3

-

Today, during the editing process, we started finish off putting all the clips onto premier pro and placing them all together. The way we did this was making sure that all the videos for each scene were put together into files so that there was easier access. We compared the way we would put the scenes together based on the other openings of thrillers, based off of our research, this is to make sure it has thriller aspects rather than an different genre characteristics, such as Comedy or Sci-Fi, the way we did this was to create the scenes to be fast paced, as it quickly builds tension between the opening and audience. This relates to Stuarts Hall's audience theory as the audicnce/ readers can interpret the opening of the movie in anyway they decide. However, based off of my research I would gather that the majority of the readings would be preferred (also known as dominant), as the opening gives off a very easy storyline to follow, not making the audience start to wonder about other movies or think about anything else, as it can engage them to be curious about what is happening in the moment. 









After that we put them all together in the order, matching the storyboard. Once we did this we realised that the opening was way over 2 minutes, this is where we started to make some changes to the way the opening would be edited and viewed as. The way that we started to shorten it down to below 2 minutes, is that we made montages and took out some clips that were not needed to help expand the storyline. 








We also came up with a name - Outrun The Truth, as it relates to what is being shown and also it creates suspense which can affect whether people want to watch it or not. Outrun the Truth, refers to when the female lead is running away from the man, because this is where the suspense is mostly built up, making the audience want to watch the rest of the film, to find out who she is running from. This relates to the research as a lot of Thrillers titles have very intriguing names, such as Silence of the Lambs or Get Out.
