Shot by Shot Remake

This is when we began to start the editing process, so we took screen shots of our progress while putting the clips together. Here we have put the first two shots together; we also had the actual film clip playing so that we could try to get the timing exact.

Here we are now into our 11th shot, it took longer than we expected, however we were able to find mistakes and set them right. We are still following the film to get the timing as close as possible.

Here is our last shot that was of a statue and we had to improvise by using a person. To do this you have to be very patient but we are very happy with it.

Here is the final edited version of our interpretation to the opening of 'The Killers'. We are happy with how it looks. We know that there are a lot of jump cuts so there is room for improvement but overall a good first attempt. However, this production has made us think about what is effective and what isn't so that we have a clearer understanding of how to produce our own thriller opening. Some improvements that we will consider next time is focusing on how each of the shots itself links together smoothly so that it makes sense to the audience. Moreover, the ending of our filming is quite effective as it was smooth and and easy to watch. We are going to consider and incorporate this technique into out final production. Our version is not as tight and clean but we have come close to it. The original opening had fade ins and they also had characters in focus and everything else out of focus to indicate the focus should be on them characters.
