To edit our thriller opening we used editing software 'pinicale'. Because we had to use Katy's camera the format used was incompatible with the schools pinnacle software so we used Bart Lang's laptop. Once we had opened pinnacle we had to press import footage chance the format of our video from a .MOV so that it could be watched And edited using the pinnacle software. One we had imported our shots onto the software they were in order an on the timeline now we were able to run all the different shots we had taken and delete the ones that were unsuccessful, We were also able to change the length of time at which each shot would play for and cut down shots if needed this was important as we wanted to create a pace within our thriller so be able to cut down the various shots allowed us to create a sense of pace and urgency.
We were also able to change the speed at which each shot played for which was important in shots such as the establishing shot of the train going past this enabled us to create a faster speed for the train and furthermore create a sense of speed and shock as the train passes at a fast speed.
This was also important where adding the fast and rapid shots if the dream character as changing the speed allowed us to show a quick flash of the figure and elevate the feeling of mystery, creating shot similar to that of our thriller inspiration 'a clock work orange' during which fast clips of the protagonist are used to confuse the audience.
Furthermore it was important that throughout our opening that we established between the characters dream and there real life pinnacle aloud us to change the colour of some shots to black and white so the audience were able to distinguish between real life and the characters dream whilst still leaving a hint of confusion among the thrillers story line.
Once edited we had to add in the credits this was easy to do on pinnacle because there was a range of different fonts to choose from that could be dragged and placed into the film and then edited so the text could be edited to included what we wanted to say. We were then able to use different transitions to make the credits appear and disappear such as fading them in and out which we felt was important to our thriller to create a further sense of mystery and to follow through with the dream theme of our opening.
Once we had done this we were able to add the final element of our thriller the music which we had search for using 'freeplaymusic.com'. We saved an uncopyrighted piece of music which we all agreed suited the theme of our thriller we were then able to save this Mp3 file and upload it in the software and play it along side the opening. Once we had finished the opening we were able to burn the opening to a disk.
