Last Day of Editing

Tuesday 14th April 2009

Today me, Elena C, Natalie N and Elena A all got together and finished editing our Thriller. We also ended up filming another part to bulken it up a bit where it shows the villain boiling a kettle and sharpening his knife. We hoped that the simple evryday task of boiling the kettle would bring up more narrative enigmas and give the character a more psychotic level to him. We also hoped the noise of the kettle boiling would work well and add tension to the scene. The sharpening of knives is also a powerful shot as the audience will be curious to see why he is doing this. The way it shows him making sure they are all straight is quite good too.
Elena C shot the kettle scene which was difficult as the sun light and the window were reflecting in the kettle and showing Elena so she tried to hide heself in it the reflection which was too hard and so she ended up kneeling down and getting it from a lower angle. I filmed the knife scene using the tripod.
We then went back to the computer and added this part to the whole film and carried on editing.
