Final Edit.



This is the final edit for our film opening, we were able to make it approximately 30 seconds shorter, by removing multiple clips and increasing the speed of a few of them. Whilst I like this edit, below we have also uploaded a shorter version, where we have removed the final scene. In the longer video we like how it looks quite professional, including a montage of establishing shots to set the scene and starting the narrative of the film. We also like the contrasting music change, which helps indicate that the first two scenes were at a different time or location.

But we like the short version because we think having it end after the car speeds off makes the opening more dramatic. Though it doesn't follow a few conventions of a film opening, such as having establishing shots to set the scene.

First draft

Here is the first edit for our film opening, it is currently too long so we need to cut out around 30-40 seconds. After reviewing this edit we have decided to make the first scene shorter by cutting out a couple clips and we plan to remove most of the clips in the second scene, because it gets quite boring and ending after the car speeds off will make it more dramatic. We also want to mute the sound in the first scene, we think having no dialogue will make it much more mysterious. There are also a few mistakes here, including an audio error in the first scene which we will remove and we would like to experiment with a few more effects and try to improve the continuity throughout the film.

Credits

Common Job Titles in the credits



  • Production companies and associates are always shown first
  • The director 
  • If the film is a blockbuster, the main actors name is shown next
  • Director of photography
  • Music
  • Special effects 
  • Co-Director
Our Credits

We plan to have the name of our film (Rogue) shown in red, because it can symbolise anger, blood and hatred. We are planning to have the credits appearing across the whole opening, shown in white which symbolises emptiness and is quite simple, which would be effective contrasted against the strong red. We would like to have the credits flickering slightly, an effect we've seen in thriller films, which is quite creepy.

Music

Possible Music

We looked for music which was quite dramatic, with a nice build up to create tension and suspense.
We really like how dramatic this song is, but we think the build up is too long and it wouldn't suit our film, seeing as it builds more excitement than tension.
We really like the beginning of this song because it creates quite a tense atmosphere.




We also looked at songs to play at the end of the opening sequence during our montage of establishing shots. This song needed to contrast against the tense music before, being more upbeat and happy. We think this song relates to the storyline, seeing as Jenson's wife is having an affair with her ex.
