In the preliminary task I felt we used very basic camera shots, we tried to be adventurous with a pan shot. But after shooting and editing our finished product, we used a scissor lift shot, a tracking shot, several pans and many shots that were significantly out of our comfort zone at the time of shooting the preliminary task.
The editing process for doing our preliminary task was very simple and short. We literally put a shot first, and then we cut it directly into another shot. We didn’t even use titles. But we did have to dub over our final cut, because no sound was recorded on the day, due to no fault of ours, which was more advanced than all the other groups. In our finished product, we used animated titles, fades and various sound effects as well as the sound we recorded on the day. Our sequences involve sequences of short cuts leading up to a specific moment, where the tension is imminently cut away, at the same time building more suspense. We are trying to create a mood of tension and suspense, which is reminiscient of the style of the slasher genre.
The ambient sound from our shoot day wasn't really that important in the end as I ended up adding a soundtrack that the audience couldn't hear (non-diegetic), this consisted of drones and various tones, but something else that was integral was how I used sound FX to double up sounds to make sound like real objects, these sounds were however diegetic as the whole point was that the sounds were created by the misdoings of the protagonist. If we ended up shooting the whole film, we would need a dark and ominous score that reflected the style of the film we were trying to do. After all we are trying to build the suspense up to these crucial breaking points we're the tension is cut and the audience are left without a leg to stand on.
We placed the titles of our thriller at the start, as not the change the tension during the build up to the climax of the opening sequence, fast sequences can't have slow titles, so we decided that it would be best if our product only displayed titles at the start.
All of our choices have been chosen to appeal to our audience. The whole point of our thriller is draw in thrill seekers, so hopefully we have rewarded with our opening sequence, the sound and editing reflects our target audience directly as it is for horror junkies, and we edited the sound and edited the whole sequence with this in mind. We want this to appeal to the fans of Saw and Hostel, therefore with having a series of close-ups, POV shots and keeping it in a claustrophobic setting we were able to mkaintain the tension and drama which are a prerequisite for the horror genre.
