Once the camera work had been completed I edited the different clips. First I cut the clips down into a rough cut of where the shots will be so they are in order. After this, starting from the start, i took time to edit all the scenes so they matched up as much as i could get, keeping continuity throughout.
Once all the clips were in order and matching our storyboard, I started to edit the colour of the CCTV shot. This i used filters and desaturated it. As well as this i used a blur filter to make the quality of the camera poor. I made a recording red dot which you usually see in recording with the date and time using 'final draft'. This gave the CCTV shot authenticity and made it look very realistic.
After this i decided to make it as though the policeman was watching Jill as he talks to her through head phones. To do this i superimposed the shots of Jill walking down the stairs onto the laptop in the background of his shot. I then filtered it to make it look 3D and on the laptop. I did this for each shot of him, and in the last shot, once Jill had finished walking i put 'computer off' on the laptop using 'final draft'.
I then inserted the track we had all chosen to use in our opening. It is very British and a good convention for the film. At first i started it with the footsteps at the start, but then i realised that it had more effect if it was silent and then the music kicked in after. I also stopped the music halfway through while 'Tony' opens the briefcase. This create suspense and is quite humorous. It is also a common convention of a British crime thriller. Once i had edited the volume of the music so it is easy to hear the libretto over the music i decided to show a 'L-cut'. I decided that to delete a shot of the policeman and just hear his voice was also very strong for a convention.
To improve the gangster circle shot i put in freeze frames and desaturated them with a filter. Using a typewriter effect I made a British convention for the names, this made symbolises a police report..
Lastly i put in the names and roles of our group to make it look more realistic, and opening to a movie.
