Interim evaluations of editing process and decisions/ improvements:

When putting the filming together on pinnacle, we decided to split the scenes of the three characters and integrate them into each other as we are creating a trailer, this is so that it creates an more effective effect and indicates to the audience that the film is a trailer as it looked like an opening to a film. We did this by integrating the Killer's actions of holding the knife and scraping it against the wall and sticking victim’s photos on the scrapbook to break up the scenes and to indicate to the audience what is going to happen to each victim, which makes it appear more interesting and intriguing.  

We felt that some of the shots were too long, so we decided to cut the length of each shot down and make them short and snappy, we felt this would create more of an impact and grab the audience’s attention. Also, we didn’t want to give away too much of what the film is about to the audience as we wanted them to go the cinemas to watch the full film to see what will happen to the victims and whether or not the killer will be caught.

Another improvement, we decided on was that we had far too many fades to blacks/whites, this made the trailer appear inappropriate as there was a fade after each shot which didn't make the trailer appear realistic. So we decided to get rid of some fades to black/white, after doing this we felt that this made the trailer flow better and appear realistic.

When looking back at the rough cut analysis we found that the 'earthquake' effect  on the 'Blade productions logo' was not realistic and didn't look appropriate so we decided to change the 'earthquake' effect to a still image with the title of the 'Blade productions' moving slightly in on the screen to make it look professional.

We also had difficulty with getting the font of the titles to the effect we wanted. We wanted to create titles that looked professional yet fitted with our genre of thriller. We overcame this by choosing a font which fitted with our genre.
