Our Opening Scene Draft!

This is a draft of our opening scene. We edited this on iMovie although we are going to edit the final version on Final Cut Express. We will also incorporate credits and sound effects into the film as well.
This is just the opening scene - after this the (currently undecided) title of our film will appear onto the screen before going into the 'main' opening scene.

I was fairly happy with how the production and editing stages went. I think we need to put some thought into assuring the continuity of the opening is taken seriously, and that everything flows smoothly. I like the idea of using fast-paced editing for this part of the opening. I think the music choice will have a great impact on the scene as well - personally I think we should go for something slow and creepy, but ultimately it's down to Amy who is in charge of the sound aspects! In terms of my role as editor, I am happy with this draft cut.
The shot I particularly like is the first shot, which is essentially an establishing shot. I would like to display the opening credits ('Silly Kiwi Productions') on the bush at the bottom of the shot whilst the victim is being followed by the murderer in the background. I think we have used a nice variety of shots for such a short opening scene and I like our use of the 180 degree rule.
