Editing Our Sequence

:
EDITING
After filming our sequence we have began to edit it so that the continuity is perfect and it flows properly. We have been able to clarify which parts we will need to re-shoot, such as the cup falling on the floor  (as the reaction is not very realistic and the cup falls awkwardly) or Zoe in the bedroom (because it would be useful to have other endings as the one we have now isn't quite right.)

FEEDBACK:

What went well:
  • First shot- phone, see 'Mrs Matthews', some characterisation
  • Good actress, realistic + believable
  • Location, homey and good colours
  • Outside shot, from garden
  • Match on action - opening fridge
  • Sound - music box, eerie
  • Stairs - lots of good cuts, variety + quick pace signify frantic + urgency
  • MES - room: rocking horse, drawings
Improvements:
  • Reaction shot in kitchen- not very believable
  • Juice on floor - not red enough
  • Walking in to room - more urgency. Why does she look around? Doesn't make sense
  • Tidy kitchen so it's not as cluttered. Needs to look like a 'hollywood home'
  • Stairs - even though there's variety it's a bit choppy
  • SFX:
    • panting as she runs up stairs
    • Michael at the door - could he be trying to open it?
  • Music - should be added, at least at the beginning to signify a thriller film.
