Today we realised our opening sequence was too long and it's wasn't looking as clean and quick like we wanted it to be, so we cut it from being 3 minutes, 30 seconds to 2 minutes long which we were very happy with. By the end of the editing session we realised how better it looked.
To achieve this we had to shorten lots of clips and get rid of ones we thought weren't that important. Shots that took to long, we cut them so that the action happened quicker... It was a question of cutting everything down and deleting a few, pointless shots rather than repositioning a load of shots.
Here are some of the pictures from today's session:
These two pictures we examples of shots we cut down. The first shot is of a keyhole and we didn't want to cut any of the key going in as it looked too good, however we cut the door opening and closing; we cut it where Adam opens the door, it then immediately goes to the inside of the 'basement'... It looked so much better as we wanted a feel of him closing it and going in quickly and mysteriously. Plus we used the sound effect of a door shutting to help with the understanding to the audience that he did shut the door behind him.
The other picture is where Adam takes a while to place the tape in the camera, so we cut it so that he puts it in quicker as the main point of this shot is the sound of it going in as it sounds sharp, and we wanted this to come across quickly.
