Editing

In our movie we used a wide range of effects, As our movie was a thriller, we believed what would give are film the edge, is by making the movie all in black and white, by doing this it makes the film seem less vibrant and joyful because all the colours has been drained by giving it a depressing effect, we took inspiration the film genre ‘film noir’ which is always filmed in black and white. Furthermore, the second effect we used was the Jump Cut we used this to not only show that time had passed , but it sets a fast tempo to are movie.

Although, going back to the beginning of the film where the anonymous individual is cutting out all the words from the newspaper , we used the effect of ‘Fast Forward’ this gives the person a sense of urgency that he has limited time to carry out something mysterious.

Nonetheless, We then drew time back to show how important the next part of the scene was, as it’s the vocal point of are movie for instance ‘When the man hands the letter over’ it gives the effect that whole story has changed hands, therefore the mood and the tempo of the film changes for instance the movie then switches to black and white, which tells us something bad is going to happen by all the denotations we associate with the colour black e.g evil, mystery and danger. The last part of are editing was the titles this was used to give viewers a fair idea of what was going on in the film, and to put are names in the film.
