Editing is an important if not necessary stage in my thriller film as through the use of editing me and my group will be able to achieve certain effects that a generic thriller film would hope to achieve. The effects created, for example, fear and tension will be achieved through the use of editing styles such as the Kuleshov effect (where a two shots are put together to imply a third meaning.) and reaction shots where the audience is able to see the characters emotions to increase the tension and build a character/audience relationship.
The editing styles that i hope to achieve are explained in each farm on the above screenshot however i will elaborate further on these points here.
Frame number 1- Slow editing is used when bringing in the next frame. The slow pace that this then gives our thriller opening creates a more suspenseful atmosphere, a frequent thriller convention that we hope to maintain throughout our filming.
Frame number 2- This editing i am sure will prove to be vary difficult. I hope to create a POV (point of view) effect by blacking out the whole shot apart from two 'eye holes' to create a shot that appears to be through the stalker antagonist's sight. This will also increase the films tension as it will create a sense of realism making the audience feel as though this is something that could easily happen to them.
Frame number 3- Editing is simple in my third frame. i will use a reaction shot of our character being made aware that she is being stalked. This will make the audience feel sympathy for our female victim and help them build a relationship with them, making it all the more difficult for the viewers when she is eventually killed off, theses emotions of sadness and remorse upon the characters death will makes the opening all the more better as the emotions the viewers feel towards the characters help to further the tension during the film as you.
Frame number4- I then use a very fast paced pan to create a blurred image as the camera turns to view the clown in the bush. The blurred effect it will create when it quickly spins round to view the bush will create a sense of confusion within the filming, this will complent what is happening on screen well as our female victim is confused and scared as to what is in the bush stalking her.
This post demonstrates basic editing techniques and this is because you have not explored the editing styles that you would like to include within your music video in enough detail. Overall, you have only included a basic overview of what editing techniques you would like to include, but there is no discussion of the effect this will create.
