Editing

We had a collection of ideas between us before we started our editing process and so knew what sort of direction we wanted to go in regards to the montage images flashing up randomly and what questions we wanted unanswered such as who is the stalker and why they are stalking a certain girl.
 We took many different shots of the places we were using, and went on the fact that it was better to have too many shots than not enough so that we could pick the best and use them in our final piece so this is where editing came into place.
Our first aim was to make up the small flashing pictures and therefore cut them down and put them together in order for it to be quick enough to make a good effect. Once this was complete, we moved on to trying out different effects on the clips so that they would make it fit into a more thriller convention, such as the glow we used on the newspaper cutting. We also tried other different ones but this to not fit in to the feel we were trying to give.
After this we decided to have parts which played forward but then reversed which was idea we had after watching the opening sequence to other thrillers. We feel this worked well and were pleased with the outcome. There was two clips that we felt was hard to flip from one to the other and this was when it went from the dark room to the wall with the pictures on. Many different things were tried but in the end we decided to go with the fade into black.
