Both myself and Matthew took part in editing our film opening.
For a convincing film, realistic sets are required, and these are achieved in different ways. For example, films involving crime will often require a news report, which is achieved using a Green Screen. After carrying out research of what needed to be done, we carried out our own Green Screen Shoot to make our News Scene look as authentic as possible.
In film scenes, occasionally a scene will change, with the voiceover continuing from the previous scene. If done properly, this can give a clean touch and make the film appear extremely professional.
This is the case for us - our next scene was our killer approaching the house, but the voiceover still played of the News Report. This worked well for us, as the second shot of the killer was a visual representation of what the News reporter was describing.
Your film opening is beautifully filmed and edited, and creates realistic scenes that generate tension and suspense, as well as atmospheric scenes that border on horror. Your screened your film opening to your peers and invited feedback, which you acted on, in particular, adding the voiceover in the final scene.
