This was our final meeting of editing our opening sequence. Getting the shots in the right order and cutting them down took a lot longer than I had expected. The first thing we had to do was to edit it continuity and get the timing right, this was obviously the most important thing to make sure the storyline makes sense. To separate our scenes and to show the time passing me added a black screen with credits on, this was to separate the scenes to make it less confusing and less obvious. To separate time between the actual shots we used a cross fade transition.
The next thing we edited was lighting and speed.
Using the colour balance tool we adjusted the lighting to make certain shots look brighter and others darker. Sometimes we had to speed certain shots up, but we then decided to speed most of the killer house scene because we wanted the audience to see the pace the killer lives his life at, and we wanted the audience to feel as if they were in his shoes. One major problem was the daytime forest scene, this was the longest scene and we decided to cut it out completely as it's not the most important scene, unlike the other three scenes.
