Editing Filming 17/11/09

In the lesson we are editing the film to make the beginning seem less like an opening sequence, we have done this due to the feedback we received after showing our rough cut version. We are doing this by cutting the first shot of Evie sorting out the clothes with Zoe creeping up the stairs, this makes it seem more like a trailer as we have shortened the length of the shots and this also creates a sense of tension.

We have also removed the shot of Evie and Zoe's conversation this it to keep the audience guessing about what is happening. Therefore the whole story line is not revealed, this is more similar to the conventions of a horror movie trailer.

We have now had to edit the music on soundtrack to fit to the editing we have done, however our film has now improved as it builds tension and is less like the opening sequence and more like teaser trailer.
