Planning: Editing

Editing is important within a film as it puts all the pieces of the production together to create the final idea. Different types of editing create different emotions and interpretations for the audience members. For example in conventional thriller movies slow paste editing is generally used as it creates tension amongst the audience and gives them a better understanding of whats going on.

At the start of our thriller all the characters will be introduced at a slow paste as it helps the audience understand their characters and the relationship with the other characters within the film. It also gives them time to read more about the character.

The editing will also be slowed down at the end of the thriller when the antagonist is about the use iconography to give the audience a better understanding of what torture equipment’s will be used. This also makes them feel uncomfortable.

Next; a straight cut will be used to show the antagonist who is watching the group of friends from a distance. This will automatically make the audience think that the character is the antagonist. In addition heavy breathing will be added through editing.

Fast paced editing will be used when the ‘’antagonist’’ captures there first victim and starts to kill them. Consequently, this will create tension for the audience members as they'll be in shock of what has happened to the victim in such a short time and therefore they will be alert looking out for any other piece of action they can capture. 

Finally, this will then dissolve into the scene where the couple find the victims camera on the floor with blood around it. Similarly, this will create tension for the audience keeping them alert and they are  still confused and are alert to seek for answers within the thriller to try and complete the prices of the puzzle.
