The editor made several adjustments to improve the film. They started with a fade in from black for the opening sequence. Noticing some scenes were brighter than others, the editor used tools to correct brightness and make it consistent. For a music scene, reverb was used to make the music sound like it was already playing in the background. Quick cuts were used to build tension before gunshots. The opening sequence was later reversed and sped up as a flashback for a dramatic effect when a masked man pulls the trigger. A black and white filter was used for the final emotional past scene. The film title appeared and faded out with the background music.

1. Editing Process

2. •We started the opening sequence with a fade in from
black.

3. •Next, as our titles started to appear, we used a blurred
and stunned effect to produce a sort of glitch effect on
the titles.

4. •We then noticed that some of our scenes were
brighter than others, so we used the brightness,
contrast and colour balance tools to correct this and
make sure that the brightness was more or less the
same throughout.

5. • We had a scene where we wanted to make the music sound more like
it was already being played, rather than being edited in. We achieved
this by using reverb to make the music sound more like it was in the
background.

6. • As the tension started to build just before the gunshots, we used
quick and short shots to make the scene more dramatic.

7. • When the masked man barges into the room, we reversed the whole
opening sequence so far and sped it up before ending it with the
masked man pulling the trigger and a gunshot being heard. This was
made to look like a flashback to make the scene look more dramatic.

8. • For the final scene, we used a black and white filter to make it clear
that this was an emotional scene and that it was in the past.

9. • To make the tracking shot more dramatic, we brought the soeed
down to 40%.

10. • Lastly, we made the title of our film appear for a couple of seconds,
then had it fade out at the same time as the music in the background
fading out.
