2. Superimposing
Superimposing was a new editing skill that we had come
across, therefore it took time and effort to get it right as well
as learn how to do it. We had to make sure the shots fit
exactly onto the blank TV screen, and move it around the TV
screen too by using the ‘corner pin effect’.
3. Crashed TV
After the shooting we had to make it look as though the live
channel had crashed so that home viewers couldn’t see
what was going on. We found this effect on YouTube which
we superimposed onto the screen.
4. Victims
To separate the short clips of the murdered victims/murderers room, we
used an effect called ‘Noise’ which made it look fuzzy, as well as adding
in the time at the bottom right (like a CCTV camera). The murderer isn’t
introduced properly (you can’t see their face) in the opening sequence
so by adding these short clips it tells the audience what he does.
5. Sound
We also had to adjust the sounds to make it more
effective. This involved making it sound ‘tinny’ or
‘echoey’ at different times. E.g. making it sound as
though the detective was watching the TV.
6. Sounds and Credits
We spent a lot of time focusing on the sounds. E.g. fading the music in and out
when people were talking, as well as adding in a gun shot. We had to find all our
music which we included in the opening scene too – this wasn’t too hard as we
knew exactly what sort of things we were looking for to fit the scene.
We also faded the credits in and out which went smoothly with the music we
chose, as well as keeping all the credits in the bottom right hand corner.
7. Film Title
When it came to show the title of the film, we wanted a flashing
effect. We couldn’t find an effect within the programme that allowed
us to make it flash, so we made short, half second, clips of the title and
separated them with half second gaps which worked perfectly.
