Planning editing styles
The editing styles we have planned to use are: slow editing. shot reverse shot, fade and montage editing. We thought these editing styles are going to be very useful to create shock, surprise, suspense and tension which will be key to making our film a thriller. Editing takes place after having the sequence filmed therefor when filming our thriller, we are going to work out at what stages we are going to fade or slow edit in order to get the right amount of footage for the editing to work.
Slow editing is going to be used during the scene that Maisy walks up behind Bettie after Bettie has just killed me. The reason we thought slow editing would benefit our film here; is to show maisy fear of bettie which will make the audience worried that maisy might get hurt if bettie turns round. Therefor the use of slow editing will build up the tension as the audience are unaware of what is about to happen and leaves the audience on the edge of there seats. Also because the slow editing is taking place when Maisy is walking, it helps the audience to create a relationship with Maisy because they understand that she is scared, which relates to the audience as they are scared for her.
Shot reverse shot is going to be used during our thriller film to help the audience relate to the characters. During normal conversation, shot reverse shot will help the audience to follow what is going on. Also it can help build the audience build a relationship with each character. The camera keep switching will outline the scenery this will lead to an eery and dark feeling to the film, as the scenery will consist of a forest in the late evening. Finally shot reverse shot can speed up a conversation, which will be used when it is found out that Bettie is a killer. I think the editing will keep the film realistic and professional.
Another technique that will be key for the scene that the characters are running away from Bettie is montage editing. Montage editing will show panic and fear of Bettie which will outline her role as they antagonist. Another reason why we are going to include montage editing is to increase the tenseness of the film so it builds up a bigger shock when it comes. To include montage editing we are going to need to spend a lot of time changing the cameras position and angle, which could take a lot of time but will be effective when it all comes together, in keep the audience entertained and on the edge of their seats.
In conclusion the all of these techniques will be very useful in create the four main features of a thriller: shock, surprise, suspense and tension. Also to ensure that our production is realistic and look like other thriller films that have previously been made. The fade technique is going to be used at the end of the film to leave a cliff hanger. Editing is a major factor of making our production a normal film, to a outstanding film. Therefor editing is going to be a task we ensure we take enough time on to get it correct.
