film editing

In this lesson, we were continuing to edit complete our thriller. We have nearly finished editing everything with one lesson to spare. Our camera shot sequence is as follows:
An extreme long shot of Emre walking down a first flight of stairs followed by a low angle shot of the same area focusing on his knees and feet.
We have a 3 second cut   with a black screen to give display our movie name we still needed to think of one and also hide a jump in our footage that was hard to get rid of.
Another long shot takes place of Emre walking down a second flight of stairs; we had the camera at the bottom of the stairs to get another angle.
As Emre looks over to another person we have David’s POV shot of him staring at Emre as he quickly walks by acknowledging each other.
Another long shot takes place of Emre travelling to Teddy, who is already sitting down waiting
there is a close-up shot of their legs and the briefcases next to them a few seconds later, Teddy picks up a suitcase and walks away. We have a low angle shot of him taking one of the briefcases away and having a building in the shot which was really effective.
 We see another long shot of Teddy walking towards the camera; David is following close behind but maintaining distance so Teddy will not see him.
This triggers a mid shot of Emre realising that David is after Teddy, he looks at the briefcase and picks it up followed with a POV shot
Finally there is a close up of the briefcase and its contents, a mobile phone ringing.

Our group decided on an orchestral sound that would be supported by drums for the soundtrack of the thriller. Experimenting with the sounds we had from Soundtrack Pro. We were working on fitting in the credits.
Our only problem of the lesson was finalising a suitable name for our thriller, however we will think of something good enough as our final lesson is on Thursday.
