Following last lessons filming, we uploaded our shots onto final cut pro and logged and captured suitable shots for making our short piece. Within our group there was difficulty in deciding how the scene should be set, the opening shots and how it will smoothly progress and climax into a tense atmosphere.
We decided to set the scene by using the shuffling cards clip so the audience are well aware from the beginning that the sequence is based around a gruelling card game. We then did a split scene of a male walking down a corridor confidently, pausing, adjusting his gun and then waking into the room. This was edited in a deliberate way to that the narrative was easy to interpret.
To highlight the wariness that each character shared for each other we included a lot of close-ups and built the tension by referring back to the shot of the cards being dealt.
The sequence then ends with one of the characters showing his gun in a subtle but yet threatening way under the table and the other characters facial expression is highlighted with an extreme close-up of his face.
I felt editing this task to be difficult and planning would have definitely helped during the first stages of this task. I also felt that I need to find some creativity from within so that I will be able to contribute and quickly think of good ideas when our group confer in the future about our final thriller ideas.
