Editing Ideas
For our opening sequence of a thriller film we decided to use different editing techniques to show the tension within the thriller and the suspense from the main character:
Pace - throughout the thriller we decided to use a quick pace while the character was rushing around the house picking up things they would need to get away. We decided to use a quick pace for this to show the audience the chaotic nature of the thriller and how the heroine needs to get out of the house quickly to get away from what they are running from.
Cross Cutting - we also decided to use cross cutting throughout our thriller. This was so the audience can follow every movement the heroine is making and to quickly show what the character is picking up and where is he rushing too around the house for example outside to the kitchen to the bedroom. This also shows the chaotic nature of the thriller.
Match on action - for our thriller we also plan to use match on action also to allow the audience to follow the heroine through each room they go into. This allows the audience to follow every aspect of the story and see the tension through the fast pace of the match on action.
