Editing

Today we begun editing our thriller openings. We begun by capturing all the footage we needed then begun editing. For our thriller we have added colour effects using the three way colour effect and saturated color. We have also added the effect so that some of our shots look shaky. We have added in different speeds so some shots are sped up and some are in slow motion. We have also reversed some shots. We are trying to make all our shots a bit different so that there is a continuos edgy affect to our thriller opening.

Character Information


For our three minute opening of our thriller we have chosen to focus on one primary character, Ben. The reason for this is that the rest of the characters are seen in groups, the party goers and the group of boys, and this gives the main character a sense of isolation.

Ben- A mysterious character aged 17 who has had some sort of personal trauma in the events leading up to the opening scene because of this he is left socially awkward and unable to relate to his former friends and party goers.

Party Goers- A group of college aged students who are at the party. Drunk, under the influence, smoking and so on. One person is in a bunny suit and others are in a state of madness.

Rude Boys- A group of boys on the estate that the party is set. All wear the same type of clothing and just sterotypes
