By the 8th of March, which was the last day given to edit, we'd manage to
finalise almost all aspects needed for our thriller opening. There were minor
things we had to change and make sure they were accurate, for example the
positioning of some of the titles, but our main focus was to complete adding in
the rest of the soundtrack. We spent just over two hours engulfed in these
tasks, but once done, we spent the final 45 minutes to an hour before the
deadline listening to and watching our thriller opening repeatedly to see if anything
needed some last minute adjusting or improving.
One thing we did pick up was the pace in which the titles were made to appear. We felt that they emerged and stayed on the screen for far too long before departing, so we shorted the length and made it so they were on just long enough for the audience to read clearly. Doing this particular task also allowed me(Rebecca), to be at total awareness of the mise-en-scene which also then gave me an idea of how we could perhaps make the titles more effective by changing the pace yet again but only in certain parts of the opening. For example, after the intruder has entered the house and has began walking up the stairs, we made it so that the titles became slightly shorter in both the distance between each title and in the length they were sustained on screen. We felt this merged well with what was going on visually in this part of the sequence between the short cuts of the clips, representing the growing tension being built accompanied by the rising intensity of the music, before regaining its normal speed when it'd seemed like things had relaxed in the sequence.
