Today we continued editing all the completed footage uploaded onto the iMac using iMovie. I helped advise and add transitions in between shots. I wanted to create a smooth transition between each frame therefore making our film opening easy to follow, understand and not jumpy. This is important as I want to audience/viewer to be able to follow the story line easily without getting distracted or confused with unnecessary transitions such as shots fading in and out creating a dodgy, unfocussed transition.
I also helped adjusting and adding our chosen music onto our film opening. We agreed together that we wanted to have fast paced music to accompany the shots as it would suit the thriller genre, theme and storyline of our film opening - focussing on kidnapping and the urgency to escape a brutal, abusive attacker.
I also feel that the fast paced music would suit the fast paced shots such as India running through clearings in the forrest; this would also add even more pace to shot, also adding suspense and tension.

We decided to create a mix of melodies (making mashup music) for our film opening. For example we amplified the constant beat of the keyboard while slightly muting the synthesised track in the background. We also made the wild sound of our thriller opening such as walking of footsteps, wind and breathing, amplified and noticeable over the top of the music. We did this because we wanted to make India's exhaustion and desperation noticeable.
