Where editing is concerned, I have ensured that the opening titles are as reflective of our genre as possible alongside showing continuity through using sound. When I began editing, I ensured that I checked everything with my group before making any alterations to ensure that everyone was happy with the choice.
With regards to lighting, as mentioned previously I had some trouble with filming as the lighting was very dark and not much footage could have been picked up, however, when editing I found an effect that enhanced the background lighting and merged it together, this allowing the background to stand out more. By using this effect I was able to make the beginning of the chase appear as though police cars were behind Jamie (Jess) running as the blue lights in the background from the street lights allowed a blue blur, this connoting police and sirens showing the audience that Jamie is doing something unlawful and criminal, this helping them develop an understanding of Jamie’s persona and character from first impressions.

Furthermore, where sound was concerned, I was able to find the right soundtrack in which reflected the correct mood and atmosphere for what was happening on screen, the use of sound also allowed continuity as if the same track was used then the audience is aware that despite the fact that the scenery may have changed the scene is still occurring. However, when soundtracks are found they were the wrong length and so I had to crop some elements of the soundtrack out and place in different areas to ensure that it all sounded like one track. I utilised the use of the fade to show the progressive change and mood from scene to scene to allow the tension to change for the audience, almost signalling what will occur next.
Where transitions are concerned, I previously decided that it would appear more professional if we didn't include as many transitions but use music instead to show the difference between the two scenes as mentioned previously. Where transitions have been included however, light transitions have mainly been used such as "Light Noise". By using this where the chase is concerned it reflects the idea of the police searching for Jamie (Jess) through the spotlights projected and therefore reflecting her role within the film.
Moreover, we believed that the difference between Jamie's role and Hunter's role was not very clear towards the end of the opening sequence after the chase, and so I created character profiles that allowed the audience to be aware of the positions both characters were in when they were introduced on screen.
