Editing the thriller.

In editing our thriller we had to consider many things such as music, lighting, cuts and consistency. In putting music to out thriller we had to carefully consider which song to use as in the party seen we had to use party music which was copyright free. We decided to use 'all my chicks' as it had a party beat to it, was copyright free and fitted in with the thriller genre. Lighting was difficult when editing as the house scene would have looked better if it was filmed at night and dark but it would be hard to see anything, so we had to film in the day which was too bright, as this was the case we had to use the lighting tools in editing to make the scene look a little darker. In the start of our thriller we used quick cross-cutting to illustrate the speed and pace of the party and also the tension of the demon at the house. In our film we used many cross-cuts as we wanted the audience to see as much as possible because this would make them want to see the whole film. In editing we had to consider consistency and cut out anything that changed from the first time we filmed to the second, so if there was something in the picture that wasn't there before it had to be cut out as it would look unprofessional and fake.
