Editing 3

We showed our teachers how far we have gotten on our film and them seemed quite impressed that we have almost finished and didnt let our disruptions hold us back. They said that they wanted us to make our film more longer and to try and experiment with the music, for example speeding it up or slowing it down. We were also told that our walking scenes when on for too long and we need to add more cuts to increase suspense.

So today we were just looking at our left over footage and seeing if we could put more time and suspense in our film. We used slow motion in our film to show that our main actor dropped his wallet previously in the film, this helped us gain some extra length.

We also asked some people to watch our film and they replied with the following:

Taneshia: It's really good, I love the ending, it was really funny.
Daniel: The music at the beginning makes it seem like the film is going to be humorous
Asher: The change of music midway works really well because it makes the film seem casual at first, but as the tension builds and the other music kicks in, it makes you wonder what is going to happen next creating suspense.

When I look at my film I agree that my film does have some comedic value to it, but as I've been researching some suspense films, I've seen that they also incorporate some comedy, typically towards the end when the twist is revealed, so I don't feel to bad that people may find my film as funny, here are some examples below:
