Putting together the rest of our horror opening

With the downloaded footage of Scarlett's filming, we started editing together the end of our opening and with the many different shots filmed by Scarlett we were able to finish our horror opening. We replaced the shots of Hayley's phone receiving the text with the new filmed shots of Jamie's phone getting the text. We also edited and added the parts of Jamie walking down the stairs into the kitchen and grabbing a knife out the draw. We also included the scenes of Jamie walking out the door with the knife and walking up the street to go meet Scarlett. We decided to make these scenes fade out to create the sense of the end of the opening. We included the title of the film, 'Revenge is Near' using the font called 'cracked' as this made it look like a title of a horror film as the font made the words look scary and creepy. We placed the film title in the middle of the opening after the scenes of Jamie ripping up the photos. We thought that this was a good place to put the title of the film as the music at the start of the opening end at these scenes and would help create the tension and suspense for the dark and horror that the audience would sense coming at the end. We also found and added some sounds of a mobile phone receiving a text to go over the scenes of Jamie getting the message from Scarlett. With the title of the film, we made each of the words appear one at a time and added some sounds with the title to make it quite jumpy and scary due to the loud crashes and beats of the sounds, making it seem like a real horror film title being introduced. With the scenes of Jamie walking down the stairs, taking the knife out the drawer and meeting Scarlett, we added many effects of the cross dissolve to create that blurry and distorted image which would reflect Jamie's state of mind and also would build up the tension and supsence for the audience. To make the scenes of Jamie taking the knife more powerful and interesting, we added the shot of Scarlett texting and merged over the top of these scenes to show to the audience the reminder of Scarlett's fate. I really like this as it adds the horror to the film of not knowing if Jamie would really go meet Scarlett in the park and kill her. We also added some strange sounds but quite creepy to the end parts of the horror opening to keep the audience on edge and gradually building up the tension and suspence.
