Editing with the new filmed footage

On Wednesday 30th March, we started to look through the footage and began editing to piece out the start of our opening. We wanted to create the feel of the happy relationship that Jamie and Scalett have to the audience so we edited some of the photos that Hayley and Scarlett filmed and continued the sequence of showing the different photos at the start of the opening to create the sense that it is teen horror movie. We then took the different shots of Scarlett making and sending the text and edited together to show to the audience of what maybe is the end of their relationship. This would make the audience understand the plot of the horror film more. However when looking through the footage filmed, we noticed that we made a mistake as we have used the name, Ellie instead of Scarlett showing on Jamie's phone when he receives the text. This would confuse the audience as they would notice names of characters that are not in the film being introduced to them in the opening so we would have to film these shots again using Jamie's phone to make the opening right and that it would make sense to the audience. We then edited and put together the scenes of Jamie ripping up the photos of him and Scarlett, showing his feelings and reactions to the audience of knowing that their relationship is over. We also added some opening titles following the sequence of the titles of 'Mirror Mask' as I have already looked at the opening of this film. We decided to use small lettering for the different names in our opening titles as this created the feel of a teen film as most teenagers would not care about the right grammar and capitals of the names. We added these titles in different corners of our framing where it was easily seen and was appropriate. Next we are going to find some music from the internet which is not copyright to use over the top of these scenes to create the feel of the horror film opening.
