The process continues...

Last post I mentioned how we stopped half way with editing the opening; today we finished the rest! In the shot of Annie's face being zoomed into we turned down the saturation a little bit to show that the color, or life, in her could be limited. The transition is a fade to black to the next clip where the camera zooms out of a white paper ducked tape to the wall with the number 5 on it to show that Annie is the 5th victim. Originally the clip was normal paced, but we felt as though the clip of the 5 needed to be slowed down a bit to make sure the audience understands that it is an important scene; it is the name of the movie as well. Once that was done our film as at a time duration of about 2 minutes and 27 seconds, so we had to completely cut a last scene that we filmed. It was of the kidnapper walking into a bathroom and washing away the blood on his hands, and then when he walked away you could see the movie title "5" written in blood on the mirror. Although it was a cool scene, we felt as though it was not completely necessary to keep in the opening. After transitions we moved on to sound. We added in the sound of a radio being tuned, switching between channels to the clip of the man hitting the clock radio, to show that it is indeed a radio and he is listening to it. Directly after the tuning stops we are going to insert a news report talking about the Annie's disappearance, we already have it written we just need to find someone to read it that has a news reporter's voice. Which, is what I will blog all about in my next post!
