Editing Process (Rough Cut & Sample Shots)

I'm am now at the stage of editing my project. The recording of the project took me four days, this meant I exceeded the time originally planed for n the Shooting List.

The recording took place on the roads of Wem and in a field about a mile outside of the Wem area. I had decided that in order to keep a sense of mystery about the opening I would only used sound such as dripping and a phone call instead of the more commonly used background music.

I have used Final Cut Pro to edit my footage and Adobe After Effect CS4 to create the Row 51 production screen, to do this I am going to follow tutorial a off of the website Video Copilot. I am

also going to use After Effects to create the main title.

Below you can see my rough copy of my production and some sample shots. The sample shots where taken to see how the final shot would come out.

My Thriller Narrative

In my production we are following the life of a man, who's family have been taken. We begin by seeing some drops of something and just hearing the sound of the drops. These shots fade in and out, separated by the Titles.

During these scenes of droplets and tile we see a man running down a alley, this makes the audience wonder what's happening: what are the droplets and who is the man. The whole thing continues until the final drop which is red. The screen then fades to red which in turn pans out from the side of a car. Then there are a couple of scenes while the phone conversation goes on, these show the man receiving a case and driving to his destination.

Then conversation then stops and the man starts walking down the country roads. He reads a letter left buy the man on the phone. This is while mans voice is reading it for the audience. He then starts to dig and throws the case inside. The audience are then moved to a point of view shot from the case as it gets buried. The spade gets thrown into the ground and instantly the news report starts about some one being missing.
