Editing- Lighting/Slow motion Effect

 

After filming the clips for our thriller and then coming to editing it I realized that the lighting that we had for each character was very good. What I mean by this is that the lighting that we used was effective and worked really well with the plot. However we did not intentionally plan on the lighting to be like that but we did film each scene with the lighting either dark or bright which gave us options when editing. An example would be when the intruder walks in to the home the have used darker lighting to represent him in a negative way. I know that the lighting that we have used was effective because when getting feedback on the rough cut where we also used the same lighting a student from my media class commented on how he " liked the darkness when if came to the villain". On the other hand the scenes that had the innocent girl alone we used brighter lighting so this emphasized her innocent.

When editing we also decided to make some things slow to create effect, the scenes that we decided to make slower than the original clip was the shadow of the hand clinching, scene where the bag falls when the girl is kidnapped. After slowing down the clips the scenes looked more effective and fitted well with the music. However the only problem that we had by slowing down the scenes is that the whole thriller extended over all, which meant that we went over the limit but after cutting down clips we managed to sort the time out.
