Plan for editing

My plan for the editing in this short clip will be as follows:

For the opening of the scene there wont be many camera changes all the shots will be quite long as there isn't much happening to give me a reason to cut it quickly.
When we see the two yobs for the first time there will be a POV shot from the eyes of Mr Morson looking at them as they both turn and stare at him. It will cut between him and the yobs as he walks over to the ATM, we will then have a shot of the yobs turning to each other, whispering and pointing at Mr Morson, it will cut back to him looking over his shoulder at the two yobs.
When Mr Morson is walking over with the two yobs following him I will cut it quicker between them and him walking faster and faster.
As soon as we see Mr Morson with the mask on we will have a shot of him standing there then it will cut to the yobs with a confused expression on there faces, the cutting will then speed up again as Mr Morson starts to fight these 2 yobs until after they run away then it will be slow cutting again as he takes off his mask.

Some inspirations


This is the theme song for Halloween. I'm not going to make my soundtrack much like this really but i love the idea of having a soundtrack for the monsters in the films like jaws as well.

This is the theme song for jaws that is only played when the shark is close or is going to attack.

This is the music from platoon. This music is a beautiful piece of soft music that seems quite different to the story's meaning, but it works really well with the movie it really helps you to think about the story of the film. it is a sad piece of music but really makes you think about other bits of the film more carefully. This music works so well because it isn't right for it's film if you think but it works so well and has a really deep impact on the film.

Plan For Sound.

I am in charge of the sound for our project. I have had a few ideas for how to work with the sound. i am going to keep a low beat sort of style of sound. I am going to start off without any music and just going to include the diagetic sound going on. I am then going to slowly introduce low beats to increase the tension and the suspense of the scene. The music will then get louder and will fade out when the man disappears. Then the music will crash back in when the man reappears at the intense part of the scene. The music will then return to a low beat after the intense scene is over and then the music will slowly fade out.

Day 1 - Planning

Nathan- Cinematography
Steven-Sound
James-Editing

The sub genre of our sequence film is thriller/mystery/crime, the plot of the story is about a man called Mr Morson and in this particular sequence he is going to a ATM late at night where he is followed by two yobs after he finishes withdrawing money. He turns out to be a more complicated character than first thought when he himself pursues the two yobs.
