Today my group and I had to film a few new shots for our film opening. After editing the shots we captured from the first day of filming, we realized that there are some abrupt changes between some shots. Some looked as if it were reversed or the angle was too drastic. We fixed those shots by brainstorming new shots and testing them, then eventually using them.
After viewing the video we had already composed, we noticed that our character was not fully represented as a cannibal. In our original storyboard there would have been pictures of the cannibal's victims hung up on a string with red X's on them, indicating that they are dead/eaten, except for the protagonist's picture. Following a shot of the hanging pictures we would have had our cannibal pull down the protagonist's picture from the string and then cross out the picture on the set table. My group and I concluding that having those shots in the film opening would show a more stalker style rather than cannibal. So, we completely discarded those shots. We now had our cannibal act as if he would be taking a bite out of the protagonist's heart, which was previously "ripped" out of her chest earlier in the film opening. This idea was displayed by utilizing a point-of-view shot of the heart pulled close to the camera as if the cannibal is about to take a bite and a close-up shot of the cannibal chewing and then wiping his face with his bloody hand. We hope that incorporating these shots into our film opening the representation of the cannibal would be clearly shown.
Since I am the editor of the group I will have to experiment with the shots we have and see what flows and looks best. I don't expect these shots to be too much of a difficulty considering that these shots will be within the same time frame as our previous idea would have gone.
Okay, time to edit! See you real soon!!
